Avon High School’s Drama Club presents, “Radium Girls”, a play by D.W. Gregory. Set in the 1920s, the play takes place in a time when the recently discovered element radium was marketed as a “miracle cure” used to treat cancer and other illnesses. When Grace Fryer, a glow-in-the-dark watch dial painter for the U.S. Radium Corporation, falls ill with a mysterious and painful disease, she must fight both the company she works for and her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.

Due to ongoing pandemic limitations, the show will be available for viewing online. Tickets are available through www.locallevelevents.com/events/details/13828.

A $10 ticket purchase will allow access to the video of the show for an entire household and for repeated viewings. The video will be ready Feb. 12.
