A California billionaire has bequeathed all of his assets to his only daughter Constance - except the 22-million-dollar yacht he wanted Josephine to have, a 25-million-dollar art collection left to Renee and some priceless antique automobiles willed to Marjorie.
Constance arrives at her father's mansion with her lawyer determined to find out who these women are and to buy them off or contest the will.
This is a madcap addition to the author's string of inventive American farces. |

The Pacifica Tribune:
"Ably directed by Judy Martin..."
The San Mateo County Times:
"Such a vehicle needs really top-notch talent to achieve its full potential, and director Judy Martin assembled just that cast... For such a small theatre, it is a wonder it is always able to afford such appropriate and beautifully executed sets... This show... needs to be experienced to savor its super acting, unexpected plot turns, and natural flow of witty dialogue. |

By Alan Ball
Directed by Lennon Smith
A bittersweet comedy that uncovers the drama at an ostentatious wedding reception in Knoxville, Tennessee. Five identically-clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit. . |

By Rodgers and Hammerstein
Directed by Craig Cummins
Musical Directed by Bob Sunshine
The final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. This familiar tale is uplifting musical theatre at its best. . |

Reviews |
The Pacifica Tribune:
"First of all, this show is about Maria, and gee, what do you do about someone like Maria, someone most people think of as Julie Andrews? Well, you have to cast a singer who can, if only for a night, make you forget about the icon. Judy Martin is that special performer in this production. With a playful exuberance and a voice to match it, Martin holds the show together with a spellbinding quality. There's not a weak note in her performance and she will carry you away with the story and the singing."
The San Mateo County Times:
"Judy Martin is radiant as the novitiate nun, Maria Rainer..." |

Directed by Lisa Lennox
Musical Directed by John Lehrack
At Mount Saint Helen's Convent, the first TV special is being taped in the Cable Access Studio. The show includes some traditional carols in the overture and as underscoring, plus some Christmas carol spoofs including Here We Come-a-Waffle-ing and The Holly and The Ivory. Of course, the show is filled with the traditional "Nunsense-sense of humor" and one liners that have made the three previous NUNSENSE shows so popular. |

Nunsense is good old-fashioned comedy at its best: it is quick paced, generally raucous, occasionally touching and totally wonderful...the spirit of the evening touches us with its unabashed desire to delight and make us laugh..." |

The Pacifica Tribune:
"Martin's I Could've Gone to Nashville...[is a] wonderfully rendered moment..."
Bay Area Living:
"Let's not forget Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fropped on her head. Judy Martin is wonderful in the part, making the most of the nun's wide-eyed naivete. She impresses not only with gags, but with a classically trained voice that soars to the high notes." |

By Carole King
Directed by Mike Ward
Musical Directed by Michael Langham
I Feel the Earth Move, You've Got a Friend, One Fine Day, and Natural Woman are just a few musical highlights in the journey through the career of this songwriting legend. This spirited evening is presented in a fresh and contemporary way with songs that defined a generation and became the classics of another, the songs of Carole King. |

The Independent:
"All of the women are talented singers...they are having a good time on stage and that feeling is infectious. The performance of Hi De Ho, featuring Betts, Martin, and Braganza as girls with bad attitudes in leather jackets and sunglasses was a crowd-pleaser. " |

Musical Directed by John Lehrack
Acclaimed throughout the world by critics, clergy, and audiences young and old for its joyful message and youthful exuberance, simple sincerity and loving spirit, this musical is a timely christening for the new millennium. Proving that it is perfectly possible to have piety without solemnity, this theatrical miracle is aglow with radiant healing grace while bursting with rhythmic music drawn from rock, folk, country, and pop. The irresistible charm of Godspell gives testament to a spectacle that believes in God - and people - and possibility. |

Guess who’s coming to dinner this time? Two seasons ago, Sarah misled her parents by hiring Bob to impersonate an acceptable boyfriend. Now, as the saga of the Goldman family continues, it is brother Joel who is not being straight with their parents. His date for his Mother’s birthday party is not the perky pediatrician they expect. If you saw “Beau Jest”, you know how creatively Bob – now married to Sarah – meets a challenge. And if you’re joining this menagerie for the first time, you’ll instantly revel in how warm and engaging this fun family can be! |

Palo Alto Weekly:
"Sister Sarah (Judy Martin) and her three-weeks-overdue pregnancy are played for a great deal of funny crankiness but, thankfully, very little of the usual labor-crisis shtick."
The San Mateo County Times:
"As Sarah, Judy Martin begins the first act somewhat shrill. However, she really shines as the show proceeds, particularly when she's trying to hide her chuckles upon witnessing her husband's brilliant "Randy" act." |
