Red Thread Theater
In 2008, Julie founded Red Thread Theater, a company that convenes small performance ensembles of citizen-artists to create diverse theater out of common human stories. Writer-performers weave autobiographical material into collective multi-plot productions to reveal the invisible red thread of destiny that binds all people, through difference, together. It is said that, though this magical cord may tangle or stretch, it will never break.
