Since graduating from Carnegie Institute of Technology with a Master of Fine Arts degree in theatrical lighting, Judy Wolcott has spent more than 60 years working as a theatrical lighting designer throughout the United States. Her lighting design work has been seen on Cape Cod, in Palm Beach, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Eugene and Seattle. In Seattle, Judy was resident lighting designer for the Bathhouse Theatre for fifteen years, and has worked with nearly every major theatre company in the city. She also has found time to work occasionally as a property mistress, and to design stage costumes and settings, most recently designing settings for productions of The Music Man, West Side Story and The Wizard of Oz. Her lighting can often currently be seen at the Bellevue Youth Theatre. She was for many years an active member of the United States Institute for Theatre Technology.

Judy earned an AA degree in Printing Production from Bellevue Community College, and spent several years in association with the printing industry, where she worked in design and layout.

In 1990, Judy's interests turned to videography. She attended Seattle Central Community College, where she received an Associate degree in Video Production. While at SCCC Judy spent ten weeks interning as a production assistant at the Boeing Company's Video Production Center.

For the next six years she worked as an editor and technician at the now-defunct Video Workshop in Kirkland, where she video-taped weddings, special events and training sessions, and helped countless people edit their home videos and create video albums and family histories.

While working at Video Workshop, Judy was also employed as a videographer by Seattle's ProVideo Productions, where she specialized in recording legal depositions.

Judy has been an active member of WEVA and PEVAN, the Professional Events Videographers Association Northwest; and was a founding member of the 4EVER Group Videographers Network. She is certified as a legal videographer by the American Guild of Court Videographers (AGVC).

When not lighting or working as a videographer, Judy is actively involved with Team Survivor Northwest, (TSNW) an organization whose mission "is to provide a broad range of fitness and health education programs to enable women cancer survivors, in any stage of treatment or recovery and at any fitness level, to take an active role in their ongoing physical and emotional healing."

Judy's TSNW-sponsored dragon boat team --Survivor SAKE -- is made up entirely of women cancer survivors. Team Survivor SAKE, paddling with Seattle's Club SAKE Paddling Club, qualified in the National Dragon Boat races in Colorado in 2019 to compete in the International Dragon Boat races at Aix-les-Bains, France in August 2020. The races were cancelled due to the Covid virus pandemic. Judy, a former team captain, is optimistic for the future, however, looking forward to the next exciting season of conditioning and racing. Judy can be contacted at 425-641-4811 or by email.
