“They were all so wonderful. I was just blown away. What a talented cast!”

Julius Johnson
Promising Playwright, June 2008

Julius Johnson will be the first male in his family to go to college.  He is humble when asked if he thinks of himself as a role model. "My little brothers can’t wait for me to leave already," he says. "They want my room."  Then he adds, "I know they’ll miss me."
 
This self-deprecating humor is typical for Julius.  "I just love to laugh and have fun," he says. "That’s my thing. Separate the balance between fun and work."

 

 


I believe that
words have power.
