Julia Prud’homme is named after her great-aunt, Julia Child, the famed television chef and claims she does a better imitation of Julia’s voice than anyone else in her family. You can spot her oh so briefly in the Golden Globe award winning movie “Julie & Julia”, teaching some ladies to play bridge. Julia would like all to know that she was not given that role, but had to audition for it like everybody else. Other notable moments onscreen include, picking up a refrigerator from Amy Poehler in “Parks and Rec”, telling Steve Carell to get his foot out of an MRI machine in “The Office”, scolding Ben Affleck in “Gone Girl” and beating the hell out of a Zombie in “Z Nation”. Last year Julia worked on the feature “Dead Deer High”, which will be released in the 2026 film festival circuit. She plays Ms. Garrels, a misunderstood substitute teacher who used to be a pro-wrestler. Julia was an early member of Annex Theatre in Seattle, an original member of Ripe Time company in NYC, and a member of Theatre of NOTE here in LA. She’s received nominations for LA Weekly’s Best Supporting Actress (“Alceste” at Theatre of NOTE) and Best Ensemble (“Hermetically Sealed” at Skylight Theatre). Born in New York City, raised in London and Los Angeles, Julia feels most at home out in nature. There is a log cabin that sits in a dense forest on the edge of the sea in Maine which was built by her grandparents. She tries to get out there in the summers to get back in touch. Julia attended Bennington College for a BA in Theatre and Antioch University Seattle, for a Master’s in Psychology.

From Julia: The Menopause Monologues means 
A chance to try to understand what this experience is about, even for ourselves, because we weren’t taught about it, nobody spoke about it, nobody knew anything about it when we were growing up. 
When it started happening to us, we went underground to find others also going through it. 

We created private facebook groups where we could share and talk and learn about this wholly unknown and misunderstood process of life.

The chance to laugh at it
The chance to be angry about it
The chance to cry about it
The chance to rewrite what it means to us
The chance to TALK ABOUT IT OUT LOUD !!!!!!!”
