The Lamplight Theater Company - New Season

The Lamplight Theater Company is hosted in the downstairs theater hall of Madiera-Silverwood Church. The Company's mission is to create wholesome, immersive theatrical experiences that engage the senses, develop artists, and deepen community connection through love and respect.​​ Their next show is Radium Girls from May 15-24. Radium Girls is a powerful historical drama by D.W. Gregory, known as a fast-paced, theatrical ensemble play that blends serious themes with warmth and humor to tell the true, tragic story of factory workers poisoned by radium paint in the 1920s, exploring American obsessions with health, wealth, and science. It's a gripping drama that highlights being courageous, taking a stand, speaking out, and taking action in the face of injustice.
