Winter Miller (she/her) is an award-winning playwright, journalist and educator. Plays: In Darfur (WAM Theatre, 2014) was inspired by what she saw as New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s researcher at the start of the genocide in Darfur in 2004. She then traveled with Kristof to villages and refugee camps along the Chad/Sudan border after winning the 2006 “Two-Headed Challenge” commission from the Guthrie Theater and the Playwrights’ Center. In Darfur premiered at The Public Theater for a sold-out run; a subsequent staged reading in the Public’s 1800-seat Delacorte Theater in Central Park – a first for a play by a woman – drew a standing-room-only crowd. Miller’s other plays include The Penetration Play, The Arrival, Paternity, Amandine, Seed, Colored (Presented by The New Black Fest, and later by WAM Theatre, as one of six short plays in Facing Our Truth: 10 minute Plays on Trayvon, Race and Privilege), Spare Rib, No One is Forgotten (Rattlestick Theater), and When Monica Met Hillary (upcoming, Miami New Drama).
