Radium Girls
Auditions for "Radium Girls" will be held Aug. 27 and Sept. 3.

Auditions for Fall Production Planned Aug. 27, Sept. 3

ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ will hold auditions for its fall production of “Radium Girlsâ€� from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, and Wednesday, Sept. 3. Auditions will be held in the theatre of the Judge William H. Inman Humanities Complex on the Morristown Campus. Auditions are open to everyone.

Based on a true story, D.W. Gregory’s “Radium Girls� is set in the 1920s when radium seemed to be a miracle cure. Watch factories painted luminous dials with new element, unaware of its deadly effects. The resulting decline in the health of workers sparked a landmark fight for workplace safety and justice.

Dr. Brock Fisher, Vice President for academic affairs at ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥, will be directing the play. He holds a doctorate in theatre. With over 60 acting and direct credits to his name, Fisher brings decades of experience to the stage. He was most recently seen in Encore’s “Sweeney Toddâ€� earlier in the summer. 

Those auditioning will do a cold reading from the script. Several men and women are needed for the play and more parts could be added. For more information, contact Fisher at Brock.FisherFREEWS or 423-318-2336.
