Julie Duisenberg

Co-Head Costumer

Julie and her family have been part of RTAA since day one. In the beginning, she was just a supporter who wanted the theatre to thrive, and a Mom/Wife that loved to watch her husband and children shine on stage. As her family’s involvement grew at the theatre and  her husband Ken (the RTAA Tech Director) spent more time at the theatre, her interest and involvement grew as well. She started helping the costumers with the simplest of costuming tasks. She never imagined that  one day she would become an RTAA Costumer! She loves the friendships, working with amazing casts and crews, and often having her family all in the building at the same time. Theatre has become a passion, and her favorite spectator sport, and she loves being a part of making shows come to life on the Roseville stage!
