Judi Pearl

A passionate environmentalist since her early teens, Judi is thrilled with her newly expanded role as Associate Producer, Artistic Programming and Environmental Projects for English Theatre. Judi is also a Co-founder and the former Operations Lead at SCALE (Sectoral Climate Arts Leadership for the Emergency), a non-profit network of artists, cultural practitioners, and arts organisations committed to addressing the climate emergency, founded in 2021. At the NAC, she has produced projects such as Grand Acts of Theatre, Stages of Transformation, the NAC Hip Hop Theatre Festival, the annual ceremony for the Siminovitch Prize (2016-2020) and Family Day (2011-2015), among many others. She was the recipient of the CEO’s Award of Excellence in 2020. She formerly served on the boards of The Only Animal and the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres, and is grateful to live and work on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory, nestled between two waterways.
