Theater director Jane McEneaney recently made her debut on the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy’s stage with an eerie and thought-provoking performance of “Radium Girls” by D.W. Gregory. Said by many to be one of the best theater productions performed on the hill, the show tells the story of the young women who suffered severe radiation poisoning from working at a radium factory painting watch dials in the 1920s. Riley Frey blew the audience away with her heartbreaking depiction of the lead character, Grace Fryer. Isabella Silva completely disappeared into her character, Arthur Roeder, the CEO of the Radium Corp. McEneaney chose this fall production “as inspiration to our girls to keep their power and to always raise their voices for justice. Together with the cast, crew and designers, we offer this show as a heartbreaking and powerful example of Veritas.”
