The reading will be followed by a facilitated communal discussion with invited panelists\, focused on the themes of the play and their resonance in the current social and political climate. \nContent Advisory: \nThis staged reading includes references to police violence\, racial injustice\, and traumatic loss. Although minimally staged\, the material contains emotionally intense content that may be distressing for some viewers. \nSynopsis: \nIn Equal Measure is more than a visceral thriller; it is a mirror held up to a fractured society. When a law-abiding Black teenager is killed by police and the officer is exonerated\, the victim’s father makes a harrowing choice to trade his humanity for a receipt in blood. \nIn his pursuit of “an eye for an eye\,” he discovers that vengeance is a debt his heart cannot fully repay. As the line between justice and retribution collapses\, the story forces us to confront a haunting reality: when the systems meant to protect us fail\, who truly bears the cost? \nThis provocative drama examines one man’s descent into violence and the systemic failures that make his choices legible. It is a stark exploration of accountability\, communal grief\, and the devastating consequences that ripple when harm goes unrepaired. \n– \nDerek W. Wright (Playwright) is a retired NYPD 1st Grade Detective turned playwright & NYU-trained screenwriter. He is the creator of the award-winning film When the Dust Settles and the 2025 play In Equal Measure. From the precinct to the stage—he tells stories with grit and heart. \nRichard E.

He will be joined by two exceptional German musicians: Peter Weniger on tenor saxophone and Jonas Burgwinkel on drums. \nThe trio’s debut album Gravity (2023\, Laika Records) was celebrated internationally; the legendary Down Beat Magazine drew comparisons to Sonny Rollins’ legendary Way Out West. \nTheir special guest will be pianist Glenn Zaleski\, who’s been one of the rising stars of the international jazz scene over the past years\, playing with saxophonist Melissa Aldena and vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant\, among others. \nBorn in Flensburg\, Germany\, Martin Wind is among the most accomplished German jazz musicians working in the United States today.

He has performed and recorded with artists such as Mstislav Rostropovich\, John Scofield\, Pat Metheny\, Ken Peplowski\, Anat Cohen\, Philip Catherine\, Michael Brecker\, Ann Hampton Callaway\, and Sting\, and has contributed to numerous film soundtracks including True Grit\, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty\, and Gemini Man. As member of the Kennedy Center Honors Orchestra\, he has also appeared with world stars Aretha Franklin\, John Legend\, James Taylor\, Reneé Fleming\, and Herbie Hancock. As leader and co-leader\, Wind has released more than 30 albums\, among them Turn Out the Stars – Music Written or Inspired by Bill Evans (2014)\, My Astorian Queen (2021)\, and New York Bass Quartet – Air (2022)\, which DB Magazine heralded as “a bass manifesto.” Wind has received numerous honors\, including the Cultural Award of Schleswig-Holstein\, the Cognac Hennessy/Blue Note Jazz Award\, and a top placement at the 1995 Thelonious Monk Bass Competition in Washington\, D.C. \nSuggested Donation: $10\nBUY TICKETS below\, OR call: 201-836-3499 (Must call before Thurs. 4/9 at 5PM) \nIf you cannot pay the suggested donation\, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Jake Hart DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n Jazz Concert \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Buy Tickets\n \n \n share \n \n\n \n \n Join us for an evening of music with pianist Jake Hart and the John Hart Jazz Trio. \nPianist and composer Jake Hart will be performing an excerpt from his latest solo piano composition\, a continuation of a project titled Collage\, by memory. The piece utilizes creative borrowing from a multitude of different composers and gives the listener the feeling that the music is completely improvised. \nFollowing Jake Hart’s solo piano performance\, jazz guitarist John Hart will perform standards and original music with his trio\, featuring Bill Moring on bass and Andy Watson on drums. The evening’s program will feature selections from his latest album New Mantra\, released last year under SteepleChase Records. The project marks John’s 17th album as leader. \nJake Hart is a pianist and composer signed with Sunnyside Records\, which released his debut album Collage in 2024. The album received praise in Los Angeles Jazz Scene\, where Scott Yanow wrote about how “the two Parts sound spontaneous and bridge the gap between modern classical music and jazz.” In addition\, Jake has also participated in a multitude of international competitions and has performed at notable venues including Birdland Jazz Club\, Mezzrow and the Umbria Jazz Festival. \nA fixture on the New York music scene for 40 years\, John Hart has distinguished himself as a band leader with 17 CDs (including releases on such prestigious labels as Blue Note and Concord) as well as a first-call sideman to the stars\, including a sixteen-year tenure with organist Jack McDuff. Other associations include Lou Donaldson\, James Moody\, Jon Hendricks\, Jimmy Smith\, Brian Blade\, Chris Potter\, Larry Goldings\, Bob Belden\, Rick Margitza\, Javon Jackson and the Maria Schneider Orchestra. A prolific recording artist\, John has appeared on 100-plus CDs as a sideman. \nSuggested Donation: $10\nBUY TICKETS below\, OR call: 201-836-3499 (Must call before Thurs. 6/4 at 5PM) \nIf you cannot pay the suggested donation\, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).
