Critical Acclaim:
"Julie is an amazing actress, as gifted  and, more important, accomplished as anyone her age I've worked with. You've got to see her."
            --Austin Pendleton
"Johanna Weller-Fahy is as striking and unpredictable an actess as her name. I have treasured her work in the classics, in contemporary plays (including my own), and, with comparably gripping surprises, in readings (both rehearsed and cold) of new student plays. Her work demonstrates a deep commitment to her craft, a brilliant sense of timing, a deft approach to comedy and a sobering comprehension of dramatic worlds of pain. As with her likewise magnificent theatrical cohort Julie Baber, I would cast Johanna again and again, in roles of widely and wildly divergent range."
             -- Len Berkman, Anne Hesseltine Hoyt Professor of Theatre at Smith College
" Johanna has the unique ability to bring life and dimensionality to a character, to be present, responsive and physically immediate. Her Versatality as an actor enables her to portray the underlying drives and the most fleeting impulses of a wide range of characters."
               --John Hellweg, Chair of the Theatre Department, Smith College
Critique for Ms. Baber's The House of Bernarda Alba

"...In the stark orderliness of this world, Julie has managed to reveal the fierce humor and resilience of the inhabitants.... I find it wonderfully refreshing and correct that Julie found the vibrant life-- even if it is largely the vibrancy of resistance-- in Lorca's world. It is this vitality which makes the tragity most heart-rending.... Under Julie's sure direction, the production reveals the classical purity of the play's movement. It made me appreciate anew Lorca's genius."
          --Paul Zimet, The Talking Band
About The 20% Theatre Company:
The 20% Theatre Company is dedicated to reversing the percentages of working women in the theatre. A rough estimate states that only 20% of working actors today are women, and there are even less working female directors, producers, designers and technicians. The 20% Company aims to reverse these percentages to properly reflect the female majority in the theatre through women-heavy casts, innovative cross-gender casting, and focusing on the voices of female playwrights while simultaniously tapping into the grossly under-represented population of female directors, producers, technicians, and designers.
