Production Notes
Supplied research identifies Terry Veal as director, three performers, and Corey Martin as costume designer; these credits need confirmation from an original CST program or review. April 6 and April 28 are scheduling-based estimates, not verified performance dates. John Brandenburg’s April 2012 review reportedly praised Brytanie Holbrook and Crystal Ecker. Set in Ottawa, Illinois and based on the experiences of Catherine Donohue and other radium dial painters. Full cast, crew, and photos outstanding.
