Several schools and theaters are staging plays about the Radium Girls, the young women who painted watch dials with radium-based paint in the 1920s and suffered radiation poisoning. Wagner College Theatre presents Melanie Marnich’s “These Shining Lives,” centered on Catherine Donohue and the women’s friendships and resilience. Grand Blanc, Glenbard South and Dothan high school drama programs are presenting D.W. Gregory’s “Radium Girls,” which follows Grace Fryer’s efforts to seek accountability for her coworkers. The productions use the workers’ story to explore workplace safety, corporate responsibility and the courage to challenge injustice. Performances are scheduled for Nov. 19–22 at Wagner, Nov. 19–21 in Grand Blanc, Nov. 20–21 at Glenbard South, and Nov. 19–20 in Dothan.
