Judith Aisha Cornell as Miriam

Judith Aisha Cornell is a performer whose career has found a balance between Belly Dance and Theatre. Some of her dance credits include Disney’s Epic Theatre/Hollywood Studios and the Moroccan Pavilion/Epcot (Orlando), Regent Cruise Line (India, Egypt, Oman, Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Bermuda), Busch Gardens (Tampa), Camden House (Beverly Hills), Moulin Rouge (Budapest), The Orpheum Theatre (Vancouver), and 1001 Nights (Toronto).
Some of Judith’s theatre credits include Seaside Music Theatre’s productions of Kismet, Chicago, and Cats, Riverside Theatre’s productions of A Funny Thing…Forum, 42nd Street, The Producers and South Pacific.
This Bio would not be complete, however, without mentioning one of Judith’s favorite credits, The Jewish Heritage Festival, where she has portrayed the beloved Miriam for several years now. It is with great affection that she returns this year to see so many long-time friends, including the camels.
With tambourines in hand, “Miriam” is ready to lead children and anyone who wishes to join in dance and joy.
