WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Written by and starring Mary Birdsong, Judy Speaks is inspired by the recent double-CD release of Judy Garland's "journal" tapes. The show breathes life into the late, troubled songstress through her words and music, inviting audiences to watch Judy attempt to record the makings of her autobiography into a reel-to-reel tape recorder. The piece also offers the novelty of hearing classic Garland hits sung live... by a woman!
