Jackie Moe Entertainment features Angela Ingersoll

“I’ve been a devoted fan of Judy’s for as long as I can recall. I don’t remember a time without her. So many of us meet her as children, when she’s a child as well, and her Dorothy stays with us. Yet even as a child, I was most attracted to 60s Judy, to TV Show Judy, to Carnegie Hall Judy. I saw a self-possessed woman and artist and knew that’s what I wanted to be. Now that I’ve just turned 40, I feel I’ve come into the time of my life I’ve always dreamed about.”

And since then, “the universe has been nonstop green lights.”

The latest comes Tuesday, Oct. 10, when PBS will film a performance of her tribute concert “Judy Garland: Come Rain or Come Shine” at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles for broadcast next year.
