You missed it, but it sure was a lovely production.

What's was the show about?

A moving drama that follows the journey of Carrie Watts who yearns to escape the cramped Houston apartment where she lives with her son, Ludie, and domineering daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae. She longs to return, one last time, to her hometown of Bountiful, Texas. With Ludie and Jessie Mae in hot pursuit she manages to evade them only to discover that her beloved Bountiful is no longer the same as she remembered it. This American classic is a touching play about the profound idea of ‘home’ and what that really means to us.

Intimacy Coordinator & Director

"Julia is a truly student-centered director who puts the educational needs of her students first. Her keen wit and sense of comic timing make her a wonderful director and an absolute delight to work with. My experience working with Julia was the best kind of collaboration where you don't know where one persons idea began and the other persons idea ended. She leaves space for her collaborators, but is also a strong leader who knows what she wants. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again!"
