The Performing Arts at Downey Avenue Christian Church is excited to bring to the stage a spring 2019 production of The Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory. In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court.
The Performing Arts group has presented sold out performances of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Midwest's premiere production of Four Spirits: The Play, by Sena Jeter Naslund and Elaine W. Hughes and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Open auditions for The Radium Girls will be held at Downey, 111 S. Downey Ave. in historic Irvington on Dec. 2nd 5-7p and Dec. 3rd 7p-9p. The main cast calls for 5 young adult/adult females and 5 young adult/adult males (with possible doubling) and a few other minor roles of varying ages. Be prepared with a short monologue and to do a reading. Performance dates are March 8-10 and 15-17.
