College audiences are welcomed to choose from Here
and Now: Stories for
the Adult Community and from History
Stories. There are, in Judith's
repertoire, specific tales that resonate for this audience:
Deborah and Simon is about what happens when Deborah, a sociology professor, meets Simon, an engineer, at a lecture on cancer.
She received a standing ovation after her engrossing, often hilarious,
and in the end poignant portrait of a contemporary urban romance.
Chicago Tribune
With brilliant use of physical detail she consistently makes us laugh at
the machinations her characters put themselves through.
The Boston Globe
Adult Children of...Parents is a full length comedy about
intergenerational warfare and the terror and possibility that we all might
grow into instead of out of our parents.
Black has culled the minefields of childhood and elevated them through
her storytelling to a level of universal experience that is not only
painful and poignant, but gut- wrenchingly hilarious.
The Boston Globe
The Home Front
In 1944 America there were shortages of all things except the dedication
of working women and good tunes. The Home Front is a musical slice of life
from those war years. Through the stunning human story of one young
woman's evolving relationship with her GI husband in Italy, and the music
of Gershwin, Porter, Mercer, Berlin, and others you'll be jettisoned back
to 1944 and 45. Judith is joined by keyboard stylist Roz Epstein as they
recall ration stamps, Ernie Pyle's columns, and a passion and commitment we
have not known since.
...and the packed house saluted Black's performance with a standing
ovation....the final sequence is as shattering as the best parts of Saving
Private Ryan. This story ends where the movie begins: on the beach at
Normandy. And Blacks story, like the movie, had more than just WWII vets
wiping their eyes at the end of the evening.
