OF EQUAL MEASURE

OVERVIEW

With the nation on the brink of World War I, one woman's personal battle begins.

A riveting new play from one of the theatre's rising stars. 

Europe is close to social and political crisis. Woodrow Wilson’s cabinet debates going to war and which side to take.

At home, the administration’s segregationist policies contrast American democratic values—a fact not lost on Jade Kingston, an ambitious African-American stenographer employed in the White House, and her brother, Eugene, an aspiring artist with big dreams.

As World War I rapidly approaches, Jade faces difficult choices that could compromise her career, challenge her spirit and threaten her own ideals of America’s duty to its citizens and its place as a world power.
