About Judith

Judith Patterson’s professional career began at the age of eight in a touring company of “Annie Get Your Gun.” Coming from a broadcasting family enabled her to see the workings of the entertainment industry from the “inside out” and triggered her life-long interest in all aspects of the arts. Her own career as an actor and dancer spans many decades. She performed both on the stage and in front of the camera, later becoming both a director and a producer. Her strong belief that longevity in the arts is incumbent upon the continued development of your craft led her to pursue an MFA degree. Since receiving her degree Judith has taught and chaired a department of Theater and Dance at the college level. Through her career she has served on numerous boards and has been part of several entertainment companies. In 2001 she co-founded US Performing Arts with her son, Craig Patterson.
