MIDNIGHT
by David Epstein

Aug 6-16

A backstage showbiz farce set in the mid-1950s that follows Jimmy Halloway, a Hollywood director experiencing a severe creative slump. Desperate to revive his career after directing a string of critically panned, albeit successful, war films, Halloway travels to New York for a crucial meeting with a legendary producer, Harvey Gouldenburg. The story features a chaotic mix of characters, including Halloway’s long-suffering assistant/lover Evelyn, his lawyer Dennis, and a stereotypical, perfect British butler named Theo Stintz. Halloway is under pressure to create a masterpiece, all while dealing with a phobia of out-of-work actors, a vengeful actor who previously attacked him, and the arrival of loudmouthed, chaotic industry figures like Gouldenburg.

"Julia is a truly student-centered director who puts the educational needs of her students first. Her keen wit and sense of comic timing make her a wonderful director and an absolute delight to work with. My experience working with Julia was the best kind of collaboration where you don't know where one persons idea began and the other persons idea ended. She leaves space for her collaborators, but is also a strong leader who knows what she wants. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again!"
