PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTORS
Julia Glander
Producing Artistic Director
About Julia:
After receiving her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa, and winning the prestigious National Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Award, Julia moved to New York City to further her studies at the HB Studios. This led to acting Off-Broadway and playing many lead roles in regional theaters across the country, such as the AlabamaShakespeare Festival and the Asolo Repertory Theatre. Julia was a founding member of an intensely creative group of actors, The New Rude Mechanicals, that was dedicated to reimagining Shakespeare and the classics. Shortly after this group dispersed, she met her husband in an Off Broadway production of Tartuffe—the same production that was documented in the 1991 book by David Hogood, Year of the Pearl, Life of a New York Repertory Company. Julia next moved to Los Angeles where she landed a position through an ad in the Hollywood Reporter as a theater practitioner tasked with leading dynamic workshops on a variety of theatre and performance subjects in many national and international venues. She spent seven years traveling across the United States, Europe, and Asia. In Los Angeles Julia was also highly successful in the commercial world, booking national commercials, including notable spots with T. Rowe Price, Chase Visa, Pizza Hut, and many others. She was the “waitress voice” for Denny’srestaurant on a long contract.
In late 2007, Julia moved back to her home state of Michigan with her husband and six year old daughter. Her first acting gig in Michigan was in The Dinner Party in 2008 at the then burgeoning Tipping Point Theatre! She went on to work at TPT many times as both an actor and director. Most notable was her Wilde Award winning portrayal of “Ann Landers” in Lady With All The Answers. She also directed the critically acclaimed and audience admired production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.
Jamie Warrow
Producing Artistic Director
About Jamie:
Jamie has been a theatre artist in the Detroit area for over 25 years, winning awards for both acting and directing. Most recently in Detroit, she won a Wilde Award for her portrayal of “Blanche DuBois” in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire at the Ringwald Theatre.
Jamie received her BFA from Wayne State University in Theatre Performance. Highlights of her post BFA work include working with the Attic Theatre Company and co-founding the edgy theatre company, R.A.T. (real alternative theatre).
In 2003, Jamie earned a Juris Doctorate and has practiced law for 20 years while simultaneously pursuing her passion for theatre.
In 2006, Jamie co-founded the Ringwald Theatre in Ferndale, Michigan and served as its Executive Producing Director for just under 10 years. Over the past decades, Jamie has been active in all facets of theatre production—engaging in both the artistic side and managing operational activities.
In 2022, Jamie earned an MFA in theatre direction at the University of Memphis where she was awarded the college’s highest honor—the creative achievement award for her direction of Tony Kushner’s A Bright Room Called Day.
A multifaceted artist and producer, Jamie is a rare combination of right-brained creative and left-brained business strategist. She is thrilled to join Tipping Point as part of its new artistic leadership team.
