KCS to perform “Radium Girls”
Kenston Center Stage has announced the cast for the Fall Drama production of “Radium Girls.” The Kenston production will feature Mia Bester, Jenna Blackburn, Dayle Foster, Julia Fugedy, Savannah Georgian, Chad Harris, Megan Herbruck, Sophia Irvin, Kelsey Kundtz, Jack McDonough, Colin Montville, Lukas Palumbo, Riley Potts, Anna Snyder, Jacob Spencer, Luke Totte, Nick Vitello and Nathan Wasinski.
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity and luminous watches were the latest rage until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, “Radium Girls” traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corp., but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.
Performance dates are Nov.11-12 at 7 p.m. and Nov.13 at 2 p.m. at the Kenston High School, Robert A. Lee Auditorium.

Regular short movement activities during the school day not only allow children to get their ‘wiggles’ out, but also energize them and increase their ability to focus on the next learning activity. A favorite Brain Break activity for students in Mrs. Jeannine Plavcan’s class is singing and dancing to “Boom Chicka Boom.”
