on many levels since her age was in single digits which, without giving too much away, was
over four decades ago. Her first appearances were as the states of Maryland and Georgia
in her grade school bicentennial pageant. Since, she has enjoyed many appearances in
professional and community productions throughout the region. Favorite roles include her
portrayal of 'Woman Who Plays Records' in Camelot Players' EMACT Festival production of

Goes" with the Newton Country Players (NCP); Maggie in "Lend Me a Tenor"

"Baby," Sonia in "They're Playing Our Song," Young Mona in "Come
Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean," and Gwendolyn in "The
Importance of Being Earnest" - all with the Burlington Players (BP). Most recently,
JulieAnn returned to the stage in May'04 to portray Martha in the Nashoba Players'
production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."
JulieAnn is also a recognized director for such productions as "I Hate Hamlet"
