The Improper Bostonian
"Judith Black is like a repertory company of one....She wittily conveys the trials and tribulations of one of life''s trickiest passages, negotiating our parents'' sometimes long and winding ending."
She has developed full length theatrical presentations tackling topics from Alzheimer''s disease and ''end of life'' care to managing romantic relationships, all with a humor that enables listeners to embrace the profound through laughter.
The Boston Globe:
"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." (Adult Children of ...Parents)
The Boston Phoenix:
"Her sympathetic persona is a cross between Lily Tomlin and Woody Allen, the hard edge of feminist certitude cushioned by self-deprecating humor that never slides into self hatred." (Banned in the Western Suburbs)
