Radium Girls kicks off state theater festival
During the two-day festival, more than 2,000 students and their directors saw multiple shows, chose from more than 200 workshops, competed in their choice of 18 different theatre-specific individual events, auditioned for scholarships from colleges and universities and mingled with industry professionals. Radium Girls marks the Players’ first production since 2019’s 12 Angry Jurors to be selected as a main stage production at the State Thespian Festival. Other ULS main stage productions include, Arsenic and Old Lace , 2015; Master Harold and the Boys , 2012; Lend Me A Tenor , 2009; Bus Stop , 2006; Company of Wayward Saints , 2003; Do Black Patent Leather Shoes , 1999 and A Beast on the Moon in 1996.
ULS’s production of Radium Girls was selected as a featured main stage production at the Michigan Educational Theater Association State Thespian Festival in December 2023. “The State Thespian Festival is an extremely exciting weekend in which students and educators from across the state can share their common love for the theater arts,” said Dr. Phill Moss, Creative and Performing Arts Department Chair at University Liggett School. “The festival also allows the students and directors the chance to network, attend workshops, and gain valuable practical information on how to improve their theater programs, and we’re thrilled to perform Radium Girls on the main stage.”
