Production History

A good job, a steady paycheck, and friendships that make the workday brighter: Catherine Donohue finds all three at the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Illinois. But the luminous paint she and her coworkers use on watch faces carries a danger their employer refuses to acknowledge. Based on the experiences of the women known as the Radium Girls, Melanie Marnich’s drama follows Catherine and her friends as illness disrupts their lives and they fight to hold the company accountable. Their story brings together friendship, family, and the determination to demand justice.
