Theatre

I have been on stage for as long as I can remember. My mother was an opera singer, and my father was a director so I was ‘born in a trunk’, as the saying goes. There is almost nowhere I feel as at home as I do when I’m in a theatre. 


As a performer, I’ve appeared Off Broadway and in some of the top regional theatres in the US, and originated roles in world premieres by everyone from Theresa Rebeck to Stephen Schwartz. I’ve built my career on my versatility and love tackling roles in classical plays as well as new works and have won awards in San Francisco and Denver and been nominated in LA for my performances. 


I am currently a proud member of SAG/AFTRA as well as Actors Equity Association, and an associate artist of The Pacific Resident Theatre as well as a member of The Actors Center, NYC.

 "In a reversal of sorts, when Richard propositions Queen Elizabeth to woo her young daughter on his behalf, the Queen (played with sly ambition by sinewy Julia Motyka) turns on him. "

 "Julia Motyka conveys Eliza's impatience, frustration, anger and confrontational instincts; she's as condescending as she is smart."
