Julia's a performer who's fighting hard not to be a stage mom. Julia's story takes us from her mom's first attempts to help her "find her people" at musical theatre auditions in the Caribbean to Julia's own more recent attempts to encourage (but hopefully not force) her own daughter to chase her dreams. All the while, in the background, we can't help but hear that distinctive "doo doo doo doo" of Suzanne Vegas' Tom's Diner.
Working with Julia was a genuine pleasure. She is one of those people that is so entrenched in the NYC storytelling scene that Facebook has been suggesting we know each other for years.
You can learn more about Julia's work by following her on Insta. Or you can follow the links get more info about Happy Hour Story Hour every Monday at the Duplex (60 Christopher Street) and Top Shelf Stories at UCB, NYC (this month's show includes TVK alumni Adam Wade and Jeff Simmermon).
Side note, were you aware that Tom's Diner is an actual place? It's actually called Tom's Restaurant and it is most famous as the "exterior shot" of Monk's Cafe in Seinfeld. The more you know.
