"Set over 100 years ago, and based on a true story, D.W. Gregory's poignant drama Radium Girls traces the plight of a group of young women working in a radium factory who suffer strange illnesses. With an excellent cast, solid direction, and simple yet effective creative elements, Grand Canyon University's production is quite compelling....Claude Pensis' direction of his large cast is very good....Pensis' staging makes great use of Karson Cook's static set design, which is simple but effective in how it uses large warehouse style windows to depict the period and setting of the play. ...With a fire in her soul and a passionate line delivery, Gretchen Carpenter is luminous as the headstrong Grace who refuses to give up on her fight for justice...As Arthur Roeder, head of the United States Radium Corporation, Nick Boisvert does a great job in portraying this man who is steadfast in his beliefs the company didn't do anything wrong...Grand Canyon University's production of the poignant drama that focuses on injustice done to these young working women is quite powerful." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
