Julia Rodriguez
Marketing, Public Relations, and Resource Development Director
Julia Rodriguez has always had a passion for storytelling, from a kid writing stories in grade school instead of paying attention to math to picking films apart over and over in high school, theatre was predestined to be a stop on that journey. After graduating from Stephen F. Austin i with a BA in Cinematography and a minor in Theatre, Julia moved back to Beaumont and got involved with Stages as a volunteer. Julia is excited to work with this beloved organization and help bring the love of storytelling to others in the community, regardless of where they are in life.
