MONTVALE—The Pascack Hills Players will present Radium Girls, by D.W. Gregory, on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 14–15, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m., in the newly renovated Pascack Hills High School theater.
Set in 1920s New Jersey, Radium Girls follows Grace (Violet Walsh), Irene (Kelsey Alexander), and Kathryn (Caitlin Buckley), young women who spend their days painting luminous watch dials at the U.S. Radium factory. Instructed to shape their brushes with their mouths, they unknowingly expose themselves to deadly radium while the factory’s ambitious owner, Arthur Roeder (Anderson Moss), pushes for profit and ignores the growing danger. As their health declines, the women must confront the company and fight for justice.
Directed by Armada Cerquira in her debut with the Players, Radium Girls marks the troupe’s first production in its renovated space. The cast also features seniors Melania Bui, Elijah Chen, Ettie Eggers, Eva Friedman, Alexander McKay, Michael McKay, and Jupiter Tamagny.
