“Stay creatively active. Part of me still feels like a child.” – Judy Marshak
Currently, Marshak is giving Ukeology workshops and lessons, and she performs on Vision Networks’ weekly singalong, Your All Time Favourite Hit Parade (Produced by Zoomer TV), which takes listeners back to some of their favourite pop music.On July 26th of this year, Marshak will be doing a performance reading in Could I Have This Dance, a new musical at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The event is in celebration of the Anne Murray Centre’s 30th Anniversary. “The play is a compilation of several of Anne Murray’s songs. I play the mother of the lead actor,” says Marshak. “Anne Murray has given us a thumbs up – we have her support on the project.”Marshak’s contagious positivity and free spirit has served her well. “The reality that we are not eternal is the hardest part,” says Marshak. “The trick is not to fall into the trap of aging. It’s a state of mind.”
