“I was astounded by how well [the actors] were able to show the emotion of what those girls were going through,” senior Emily Walsh said.
The Advanced Theater Arts class put on a show on October 16 that you will be sorry if you missed it.
The one-act play, “Radium Girls,” told the story of a group of females in the 1920s who become sick from their contact with radium. The powerful element was used at that time to paint watches.
The audience was captivated by the cast. Many left the show feeling the same strong emotions that the actors expressed on the stage.
“The atmosphere was kind of somber because the story was so sad and everyone took it very seriously,” senior Mikaila Moore said.
Moore thought the play told a very emotional story and deserves much more recognition.
In particular, senior Iriana Cotto’s performance stuck out to Walsh.
“[Cotto] is just so good at what she does. She cried on stage and I was just like wow wow wow, I feel this,” Walsh said.
The hour-long production highlighted the talent of the Advanced Theater Arts class.
“What stuck with me the most after the play was how talented everyone is,” Walsh said.
