Women Of Courage
Joanna Halpert Kraus
Decision Height
by Meredith Dayna Levy
Synopsis
From the winner of the 2013 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival comes this story about friendship and the complex though essential role of women in wartime.
Virginia Hascall has left her home and fiancé to become a Women Airforce Service Pilot, doing her part to help defeat the Axis powers in World War II.
Through triumph and tragedy, Virginia and her sisters in flight suits learn as much about themselves as they do about airplanes.
As the war rages over there, the women form a sisterhood that cannot be broken, and Virginia must make a decision that will change her life forever.
With a cast of nine vibrant female characters, Decision Height offers a look into an under-recognized subset of American heroes.

— The Times-News (Burlington, NC)
"A well-constructed and well-respected play... beautifully written... It is a must-see for fans of American history, women’s history, and just overall great theater."
