Judith has been described by colleagues as a master teacher, a dynamic scholar, a committed mentor and a wise leader in our field.

This is Drama Australia’s most prestigious award and to date, there have only been 16 recipients.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were forced to postpone the 2020 national conference, however, they wanted to announce the recipient of the Drama Australia President’s Award anyway!
