Mercer Island, WA, January 22, 2026 - What happens when we listen to women? Join us for a powerful and moving production as the Mercer Island High School Drama Department brings Radium Girls to the stage!
Written by D.W. Gregory, this historical drama based on true events from the 1920s follows a group of young female factory workers who bravely fight for justice after being exposed to toxic radium paint. It’s a story of courage, strength, and the fight to be heard—brought to life by our talented student cast, and produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
