Canadian Playwright Judith Thompson invested into the Order of Canada

From one Queen's grad to another -- Congrats!

From the 2006 Issue 2 of Queen's Alumni Review magazine:

Judith Thompson, Artsci '77, was invested into the Order of Canada on Feb. 17 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Her citation noted that "Her works are known for their masterful dialogue and characterization, and the darkness she explores is treated with such exuberance, intelligence and even humor that one is left with a profound sense of hope.

She has been called a jewel in Canada's crown and has made a powerful and lasting contribution to theatre in this country and abroad."

Judith was accompanied by her husband, Gregor Campbell, mother Mary Thompson, mother-in-law E.M. Campbell, brother-in-law Archie Campbell, and daughter Grace, 16. Judith's new play, PERFECT PIE, will be produced on the Firehall stage at the Thousand Islands Playhouse this season from Sept 14 to Oct. 14.
