WHAT'S ON?

2026/27 SEASON

This season, join us as we explore two stories of women whose lives are shaped by the systems they inhabit. Radium Girls by D. W. Gregory tells the shocking true story of young factory workers forced to confront the human cost of corporate negligence, while Machinal by Sophie Treadwell offers a haunting portrait of a woman searching for freedom in a world that leaves little room for it. Together, these plays reveal the hidden costs of power, progress, and conformity, asking us to consider who benefits from the systems we build and who is left behind.

RADIUM GIRLS

DECEMBER 2026

—

Riffraff will kick off our third season with a production of D.W Gregory’s powerful historical play, Radium Girls. In 1926, radium was a miracle cure that promised a glittering future. But for the women of the U.S. Radium Corporation, that promise had devastating consequences. Radium Girls is a witty, fast-paced, ensemble drama that explores the shocking true events that redefined labor law and workers’ rights in the United States.

Performance Dates: December 9 - 12, 2026
Location: 101 Archer (Tulsa)

TICKETS ON SALE SOON!

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.

MACHINAL

MAY 2027

—

Inspired by the true 1928 crime case of Ruth Snyder, Sophie Treadwell’s expressionist masterpiece follows one ordinary woman’s journey to her breaking point. Bold, pulse-pounding, and shockingly modern, Machinal exposes the brutal machinery of societal expectation, alienation, and conformity, and the lengths one might go to be finally free, no matter the cost.
