Judith Estrine

Welcome

I’m an author, a playwright, and an editor. Raised by the Church, which I co-authored with Edward Rohs was published in 2011. In 1999 I co-authored Midlife: A Manual with my husband, Dr. Steve Estrine.

Here’s a partial list of produced plays: Frack-up, Theatre for The New City, dir. Benno Haenel, (2011); Poppa's Girls (Theatre For The New City, dir. Benno Haenel (2010); Nothing Personal, Friars Club, dir. Elowyn Castle (2008), Brooklyn Publishers; She & He, 1st Place Nantucket Short Play Competition (2004); Regional tour (2006); 10-minute film shown nationally(2007), Brooklyn Publishers; Pinochle & Roses, Vital Theatre Equity Showcase (2005); Semi-finalist, Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Competition (1981);
Ghost Mommy, Finalist, Out on the Edge Festival (1997).

I was managing editor of Service Delivery for Vulnerable Populations: New Directions in Behavioral Health, Springer Publishing (2010); development editor of The Longevity Revolution by Robert N. Butler, M.D. Public Affairs Press (2008); and an acquisitions editor for Quality Paperback Book Club (1989 – 1997).

Between 1997 and 2009 I was Director of Publications at the International Longevity Center, a not-for-profit organization. Since January, 2011 I’ve been Director of Publications at SAE & Associates, a behavioral health grant writing and program development agency.

Finally, when I’m not battling deadlines (and also when I am) I enjoy running. I’ve completed three New York Marathons and belong to a bodacious women’s running group, Mercury Masters. I am a proud member of the Dramatists Guild, and I live in New York City.
