Julie
Van Lith
“Meredith”
Originally from England, I began my acting career in London theatre, developing a strong foundation and a lasting love for live performance. After years on the UK stage, my career expanded to the US, leading me to New York, California, and into film and screen work. Now based in Arizona, I continue to work steadily in film, with credits available on streaming platforms including Amazon. My journey across the UK and US has shaped me into a versatile performer, comfortable moving between stage and screen, drama, and character-driven storytelling, bringing experience and passion to every project.

“Mark”
Producer/Director
I love to entertain. My journey began as a DJ at Erie Community College's radio station, then spinning records at Willie & Guillermo's in Phoenix during the Saturday Night Fever craze. I went on to work as Stage Manager and Field Producer for the Arizona Cardinals, directed Christmas television shows and a PBS documentary that aired nationwide, taught high school, and served as an Adjunct Instructor at ASU for Documentary Film Production. Through it all, three constants have fueled me: my devotion to the Buffalo Bills, bold coffee, and anything dark chocolate.

From solo keyboard to a 22-piece orchestra, I promise a musical experience to remember.

I was born without a full middle name—just the initial “G.” Always curious, I wondered what it stood for. One day I told my mom, “I know! It stands for Go, because I’m always on the go!”

That’s certainly true. By the time this is published, I’ll have moved to Seguin, Texas, to live near my oldest son and his family, as the happy owner of a 1960 mid-century modern house with all its quirky charm. I enjoy acting, music, sewing, vintage LPs, and spending time with my granddaughter and her parents.
