Winter Miller is an award-winning playwright and founding member of 13Playwrights. Her play In Darfur premiered at The Public Theater for a sold-out run, followed by a standing room only performance at their 1800-seat venue in Central Park, a first for a play by a woman. In Darfur was the winner of the “Two-Headed Challenge from the Guthrie Theater and The Playwrights Center. Winter travelled to the Sudan border with her then boss, Pulitzer-winning Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.
