Show Times: 7:00 PM Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 2:00 PM Sundays

Tickets: $24
https://www.lofte.org/

Manley, Neb. - The Lofte Community Theatre will open Radium Girls, May 3rd, 2024. The show will run through May 12th with performances Thursday through Sunday, with Sunday performances at 2 PM. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the Lofte Box Office, by phone at 402-234-2553, or by visiting www.lofte.org.

Synopsis: In 1926 radium was a miracle cure and luminous watches were all the rage—until the girls who painted these watches began to fall mysteriously ill.

Radium Girls is a gripping story inspired by real events, following Grace Fryer, a courageous dial painter, in her fight for justice against her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man, who couldn't fathom that the miraculous element responsible for shrinking tumors might be linked to his employees' illnesses.

Experience the wry, unflinching, tale of the American obsession with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science in Radium Girls.

Directed By: Kevin Colbert
