Tickets are now on sale for this year's play, Radium Girls!
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
Radium Girls runs Friday, April 28th and Saturday, April 29th at 7:00pm at The Varsity Theater in Carbondale. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the school now or at the theater the nights of performances. Get your tickets now before they sell out! Hope to see you all there!

ESL Club commemorated Cesar Chavez Day this morning by distributing bags of grapes to the students. March 31st was established as Cesar Chavez Day by President Barack Obama in 2014.The federal commemorative holiday celebrates the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist Cesar Chavez. Through strikes, marches, and boycotts in California, he inspired millions of people across the country to fight for safe and healthy workplaces, better wages, improved workplace protections from sickness and disability, and other core rights and protections. To this day, farm workers are able to have better working conditions because Cesar Chavez believed in “La Causa”-the cause.
