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 the family - “fight me”. 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”, beating the hell out of a Zombie in “Z Nation”. Last year Julia worked on the feature “Dead Deer High”, which will hopefully play in festivals in 2026. She plays Ms. Garrels, a misunderstood substitute teacher who used to be a pro-wrestler. Back when Theatre awards were a thing, Julia was nominated twice (no wins) by the LA Weekly. 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. She learned how to eat fire for the play “The Fatty Arbuckle Spookhouse Review” which took place in a circus. 

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.
It just started happening to us, and we went underground to find others going through it ~ in secret Facebook groups ~ so we could share and talk and learn

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 !!!!!!!!”
