←Recommendations of Winter

Winter by Julie Jensen is a deeply moving exploration of end-of-life choices. Jensen’s play captures the complex emotions within a family facing difficult decisions, blending humor, honesty, and humanity. Annis' courageous determination to maintain control over her final chapter makes this a powerful and unforgettable piece.

Winter is an important play. A powerful play. A haunting play. It's real. It's painful. It's funny. It's human. It tackles a serious topic with honesty and humor that comes from relatable characters and a recognizable family dynamic. Annis' determination to grab her last moments of control make a memorable drama.

A very moving, thoughtful play, depicting a family in crisis. Annis' quest is courageous and relate-able. No fancy twists and turns: just the powerful story of an end-of-life journey.

Winter by Julie Jensen is currently receiving a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. The partnering NNPN Member Theaters are Salt Lake Acting Company (UT), Rivendell Theatre Ensemble (Chicago, IL), and Central Works Theater Company (Berkeley, CA).

A thoughtful and provocative play that shines light on all sides of the 'right-to-die' debate. The character of Annis is funny and clever and empowered. The script raises smart questions without definitively taking a position on the issue. Our reading of WINTER (at Salt Lake Acting Company) sparked a lively post-play discussion and we are excited for the community engagement opportunities this play presents. It's a topic that affects many people's lives and incites a lot of opinion.
