She has performed with the Windsor Light Opera Association, Performing Artists Unlimited, Dearborn Civic Theatre and the Dearborn Performing Arts Theatre. She has served as soloist for St. Colette Church in Livonia, St. John’s Church in Detroit and is currently on the music staff as section leader/soloist for First Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Michigan.

Judith made her Epicenter Theatre Group debut in October 2011 as the older Victoria in Marius Iliescu’s play The Man Who Lost His Sundays. “I thoroughly enjoyed doing the role. I really had to reach somewhere and I’m still reaching because none of us will ever experience or know what kind of life that was. It’s just not possible.” Judith would like to thank her husband Bill Premin and the rest of the staff at Epicenter Theatre Group for the opportunity to play such a challenging role. She is looking forward to future projects.
