With Dr. Jay Zorn, June co-authored five editions of Listening to Music, and three editions of Beyond Broadway: Social Issues in the Musical. She traveled extensively in the US and Canada as a writing consultant and editor for Fortune 500 companies such as Xerox, Sun Microsystems, Royal Bank of Canada, Ford Motor Company, and Eastern Pipeline.

Since locating to Palm Desert, June has been active as an actor, director and playwright. She has been involved with more than 30 productions, also as a composer and writer, and has received numerous Desert Theatre League nominations and awards.

In 2013, her musical Sexy Widows (book, music, and lyrics) premiered at the Colony Theatre and then played at 24th Street Theatre in Los Angeles. The show reprised in Palm Desert om 2019.  June's one-man show, ROBERT FROST: Fire and Ice, written for the late Arthur Peterson, premiered at the Pasadena Playhouse, played off-Broadway at the South Street Theatre in 1984, and toured the United States for the next 10 years.  Her play Coming to Life was produced by Detroit Repertory, and a reading of her play All About Moonbeams was staged at Script to Stage to Screen in 2022.

Former lead singer in a disco cover band turned Gaslight girl, turned actress, turned author of two produced, and wildly unacclaimed plays, and one likely-unseen teleplay, Kay Kudukis is a pragmatic optimist (read: Libra) who has found her bliss in Palm Springs offering honest and "meh"-revered written opinions to anyone who has an interest. Thanks for asking, you're swell.
