The People

Having tried the acting route, Julie, or better casting and artistic directors, thought she would better serve the world of theatre behind the scenes. Forget the triple threat, Julie was absolutely no threat to actors gracing the stages in the Midwest. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Julie earned her degree in Journalism and Marketing and made a career out of taking up artistic and health-related causes. As the publisher of DramaBiz, Julie now passionately leads the cause to help keep theatres open and prosperous.

Now as the editor-in-chief of DramaBiz, Joel can be frequently heard around the office reciting lines from a play or challenging an intern to theatre trivia while he continually takes up his fight for theatre.
