About this event

Criminal Presents Don't Worry with Phoebe Judge at The State Theatre The State Theatre Tuesday, December 8, 2026 Doors: 6pm Show: 7pm Other Showtimes: 12/9 The premise of the podcast Criminal has always been to tell stories about people "who’ve done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle." In this all-new, intimate, and darkly funny show, host Phoebe Judge tells those stories about herself and the people she loves. Growing up in an eccentric, unpredictable family in Chicago, Judge began discovering family secrets. Judge shares how those secrets have shaped her life - including the work she does as a journalist and host of a true crime podcast. Phoebe Judge is the host and co-creator of Criminal, This is Love, and Phoebe Reads a Mystery. Criminal was named the “best true crime podcast of all time” by Entertainment Weekly, while The New York Times has called it a “venerated series” that has “grown only more impressive with time.” This Is Love has been named one of the year’s best podcasts by Time, which wrote that “listening can feel like a contact high,” and has been praised by The Guardian as “beautifully paced, with memorable details.” Previously, Phoebe was a host at WUNC North Carolina Public Radio, a producer for The Story with Dick Gordon, and a reporter based on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She covered the BP oil spill and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina for Mississippi Public Broadcasting and National Public Radio. Phoebe’s work has won multiple Edward R. Murrow and Associated Press awards.
