After Tartuffe was produced in the Fresh Fruit Festival in NYC, and is being published in two installments in The Courtship of Winds. Country Fried Murder won the SOPS competition and was produced at the Shawnee Playhouse in 2019. It was produced virtually by Quarantine Players in 2021 and released as a Zoom recording on YouTube and as a podcast. In all, two of Judy’s full-length plays and six of her one-act plays have been produced as podcasts.
