Julia Urich
(alto vocalist)
Julia Erin Urich has been singing for as long as she can remember. She loves all music, but especially musical theatre and anything with crunchy harmonies!
Recently you may have seen her as Desirée Armfeldt in “A Little Night Music” at Civic Theatre of Allentown, or at Between the Lines Studio Theatre as Agnes in "The Moors." Some other favorite roles include Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha," Nettie in "Carousel," and Grandma Tzeitel in "Fiddler on the Roof."
Beyond performance, Julia co-owns FireRock, an Emmy® Award-winning video production company. When not working on a project for FireRock, or performing on a stage, you might find Julia playing ice hockey, coaching angsty teenage soccer players, teaching voice or piano, or making mischief with her husband, their two sons, their two pups, and their very vocal old cat at home in Allentown, PA. Julia is so excited to join these Dolls!
