Currently a Theatre Professor at Collin College, she is best known as the founder and Artistic Director of NYC’s award-winning Judith Shakespeare Company (1995-2015). During her tenure, she expanded the boundaries for women in classical theatre, presenting over half of Shakespeare’s canon (including the entire 10-play history cycle) with groundbreaking gender-bending and diverse casting in every show. She also founded the company’s RESURGENCE New Play Development Program and headed up JSC’s Arts-in-Education programming.
