The Chance Theater is pleased to present the Southern California premiere of acclaimed playwright Julie Marie Myatt's intense look at returning home from war, Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter, April 16- May 16, 2010.
Directed by Chance Theater artistic director
Oanh Nguyen, Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter is a present-day story of personal recovery and acceptance. Upon her return to Southern California from a difficult tour of duty in Iraq, wounded Marine Sergeant Jenny Sutter finds herself lost in the California desert, without the body and mind she once knew.. The eccentric inhabitants of a makeshift community give her the homecoming she needs before returning to her previous life. An edgy and poignant drama, Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter brings fascinating insight to a timely theme.
While the Chance Theater production of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter is a Southern California premiere, the play has made an impression on audiences and critics across the country. The play premiered at the Tony-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival in February 2008 to glowing reviews. The San Francisco Chronicle noted, "[Jenny Sutter] is a powerful drama...with graceful sensitivity." The premiere was shortly followed by a production at the renowned Kennedy Center Theater in Washington D.C.
Chance Theater is offering two free tickets to active duty military, veterans, and reservists for any performance of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter (based on availability).
