"Hello! My name is Juliette Marcella, and I am a massive lover of anything weird, wonderful, and whimsical. I am a voracious reader and perpetual student. I was never just an english or a math kid, I was simply just at home when learning something new. (As of late, I've found myself a lover of learning about molecular and ecological biology) I am an overall curious person, lover of critical thought, and frequent quoter of Descartes and Shakespeare. All of my work in theater is informed by this obsession with intellectualism. I love exploring classical works like Austen and Wilde and turning them completely on their head. There is nothing I love more than turning the known into the unknown with my personal passions lying in stories centered around gender and queerness. All of my work is informed by the experience of all who came before me, as well as my strong love of information and desire to understand existence. Humanity is universal, and inspiration can come from literally any corner of the universe."
~Juliette Marcella
My Work
Exploring The Known Through The Unknown
All my life, I've always felt a sort of reverence for the classics. Classic novels, films, and theatre have always held my heart. Through my art, I strive to tell these beautiful stories that transcend the changes of time. Whether that be through complete exploration within the bounds of already existing work or through a complete 180 of telling familiar stories in an unfamiliar way. As artists, it is our job to question the status quo, and I find that work exploring the classics in a new light allows for conversation about the ever-changing yet constant struggles of the human race.
I believe that live theatre is such a unique medium where no one can hide. You are watching and experiencing living, breathing art that constantly changes every night. There is nothing more beautiful to me.
Beyond Acting, I have found love in Directing, Writing, and Painting. I've worked in a multitude of roles within the theatre and consider every one a chance to further expand my understanding of this beautiful art form that I have dedicated my life to.
"Marcella does more with an arched eyebrow than most can do with a four page aside."
