Decision Height - Life as a WASP Trainee

Had a chance to speak with the all female cast of the play Decision Height that is being presented by the Grants Pass (Oregon) High School. It was written by Meredith Dana Levy.



Rehearsal of Decision Height by Grants Pass High School


I was surprised at how intently they listened as I answered their questions. I reminded them that they were representing these brave woman and that they should not be nervous or afraid. After all, they are just a couple of years younger than these WW2 pilots were when they were in training.
 Their rehearsal proved that they are taking their roles seriously and perhaps with a new found intensity.
 The play uses real stories and events to tell the story of a group of Womens Airforce Service Pilots trainees making their way through their arduous six months of training at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas.
We watch as they overcome their initial conflicts with each other to become a sisterhood of love and support. There is comedy, drama, and more than a few tears.
These young ladies are fantastic and they are ready to show the world how committed they are.
"Break a leg!" And enjoy!
