Chatham High School presents Radium Girls – an early 20th Century female empowerment story about how a group of young woman forever changed U.S. labor laws. Performances are Friday, November 16 and Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at the newly renovated CHS auditorium. Radium Girls, by D.W. Gregory, is a powerful contemporary play based on the true story of young factory workers in Orange, New Jersey battling the U.S. Radium Corporation in the 1920’s. It is a fast-moving, theatrical ensemble piece about greed, wealth, science, justice and above all else, courage.
Local senior citizens are invited to the final dress rehearsal on Thursday, November 15 at 3:30 p.m. at the CHS auditorium. Immediately following the performance, seniors are invited to stay for a complimentary dinner. Seating for the dress rehearsal is unrestricted, however, dinner reservations are limited to 80. To RSVP for the senior dinner, please call Debbie Haeringer at (973)701-8037 or email debbie.haeringer@gmail.com by Thursday, November 8. Diners will receive a confirmation call or email.
