Julia Stephens is a performer and writer based in Los Angeles and New York City. Her work spans theatre, film, and nonfiction, with a focus on bold, character-driven storytelling. She is especially drawn to stories that blend emotional depth with sharp humor.

She is the creator and star of the original web series Really It’s Rita, which received interest from major television networks, and co-creator of the semi-improvised series Ctrl+Alt+Underground, featuring top comedic talent. Her nonfiction writing has appeared in The New York Times, and she was selected as one of a small group of writers for the CBS Diversity Showcase. She currently works in television.

Her latest project, ROOMIES, is an autobiographical solo show about two unlikely roommates navigating extraordinary circumstances. The show is in development for an Edinburgh Fringe run in 2026.

With a multidisciplinary background in performance and writing, Julia is committed to creating work that resonates across platforms — from stage to screen — and isn’t afraid to hold both laughter and heartbreak in the same breath. She holds a degree from UCLA, where she graduated magna cum laude.

A lifelong performer, Julia splits her time between cities and loves discovering new ones.
