Judith Sloan
Judith Sloan is an actress, audio artist, oral historian, and educator whose multi-character solo performances combine humor, pathos, and a love of the absurd.
Her work has been published by W.W. Norton, Second Story Press, and the New York Times OP Ed, and produced for National Public Radio and in theatres throughout the U.S. Sloan often collaborates with her husband, Warren Lehrer, with whom she co-founded EarSay, an arts organization dedicated to uncovering and portraying stories of the uncelebrated. Together they created the award-winning book and multimedia project Crossing the BLVD: Strangers, Neighbors, Aliens in a New America.
