Stories for Your Adult Community
Judith's original award winning programs for adults will take you from bedrooms in Brooklyn, to the battlefields of family relations, to the kitchen where Bar Mitzvah preparations have obliterated the table top for six months!

    "Judith Black is the bravest, wildest, most astonishing storyteller anywhere. Not only is she a great performer, but she also writes her own material, haunting story theater that is profound, erotic, and hilarious at the same time. She is, in every meaning of the word, an original, and she is, without a doubt, the best."
    Howard Schwartz:
    Author-Professor-International Lecturer

Deborah and Simon, a story about two singles that meet at Brookline's Jewish Young Adult Center:

    "She received a standing ovation after her engrossing, often hilarious, and in the end poignant portrait of a contemporary urban romance."
    Chicago Tribune

Adult Children of...Parents, a comedy about dysfunctional Jewish families:

    "Judith Black should be sought after by one and all for her wisdom, for her wit, for the risks she takes on stage, and for her genuine warmth which she abundantly shares with one and all."
    The Jewish Advocate

Looking For G-d's Doorbell, an exploration into American Jewish roots and this rite of passage called Bar Mitzvah.

    "Spellbinding, heartwarming, and yet oh so familiar, a wonderful evocation of the struggle to keep one's children rooted in Judaism. Judith's story reaches the depths where we all are one."
    Linda Weltner- The Boston Globe

    "In Looking For G-d's Doorbell, Judith masterfully takes us on a parents' spiritual journey that ultimately leads to the divine in each of us."

Loving Trina To Death is a story about that path we will all tread, only this one is visited by landmarks of laughter and redemption.  When Michael, who always refers to his mother as "the little Pitt bull" discovers that he is the only one available to guide her through Alzheimer's and into death, his willingness parallels Jonah's eagerness to do the lord's bidding.  The physical journey from downsizing to nursing home and the spiritual journey from angry boy to soulful adult is the stuff of this tale.
