THOMPSON, Judith, College of Arts, University of Guelph
Professor Judith Thompson is one of the best and most produced playwrights in the English-speaking world. A formal innovator, she established that reputation by giving voice to people who are rarely heard, recording the experiences of the disenfranchised, and by speaking the rarely acknowledged truths of the human condition. A playwright, director, dramaturg, teacher, mentor, Judith Thompson is unsurpassed in her contribution to the arts in Canada.
