NEXT UP: RADIUM GIRLS 🕒

Radium was once the wonder substance of the modern world, and the young women painting luminous watch dials were told they were lucky to work with it.

But when the women begin falling mysteriously ill, they discovered the horrifying truth: the radium they were told was completely safe was in fact one of the deadliest substances on the planet.

As the company denies responsibility and attempts to silence them, the women fight for justice, taking on powerful employers, a medical establishment that refuses to listen, and a system determined to protect profits over people.

Our final production of 2026, Radium Girls is a co-production with Hunter Drama. Starring HD's Actors Company and handful of veteran K&R actors, Radium Girls is a powerful true story about friendship, courage, corporate greed and the fight to be believed.

RADIUM GIRLS

A Final Note from The Lifespan Of A Fact director Patrick Campbell

I would like to thank all who attended our season of The Lifespan of a Fact and gave such informed and valued feedback. Every director wants their show to be a success because of the tremendous efforts of the cast and crew who put their trust in your decisions and advice!

What a fantastic team we had! Knock and Run welcomed Carl for the first time ever and had Angela for her second K&R show and what an asset they were in the rehearsal room and on stage. What a talented duo and combined with James it made the cliche of the dream team startlingly appropriate.

Artie and Rob did wonderfully creative turns with the lighting and set and Shae was a pillar in every way!

My personal thanks to Steve and Phil who are acting buddies in the truest sense of the word.

The show genuinely made our audience consider our world of truth and lies and half truths and half lies! To overhear audience members discussing the issues in the days after they saw the show is already a treasured memory.

My congrats to Artistic Director James Chapman for the risks he takes in producing edgy, provocative works. Combined with his considerable acting ability he is an asset to our community theatre!!

I look forward to the next production from Knock and Run. Whether I am involved or otherwise, I know it will be worth spending some glorious time escaping from our world while at the same time making me consider its simplicity and complications. And that is a FACT!!
