Milford Arts Council and Milford Library put our heads together to offer two related events for our community.
On January 8 (snow date January 10) at 7pm, Milford Library is hosting a book discussion about the book The Radium Girl by Kate Moore. Copies are available in advance from the library – check at the Reference Desk. The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint. Painting was done by women at three different sites in the United States, including Waterbury, CT, early in the 20th century.
At the January book discussion, members of the cast will be performing a scene from the play. Plus, those who attend the book discussion will get a discount on a ticket to the play on opening weekend. If that’s not enough, there will be a cast talk-back after the performances on Friday and Sunday afternoon!
