Black is back! … with more Jewish wit and wisdom. Come to her one-woman storytelling show.

Join Judith Black for an evening of stories about adolescent rebellion, life in the Pittsburgh Anarchist, Lesbian Commune, and parenting where imprinting your ideas in your child’s life is a little like surfing with an elephant.

“Black is a warm and dynamic storyteller, a wry sense of humor… Smart and undeniably funny… a great example of the power of storytelling.”
