Julie Boughter

Julie began acting in theater as a child in The Sound of Music and continued working within the theater and acting in several plays throughout Jr. High, High School and College with her favorite role during those years being Ado Annie in Oklahoma! After marrying her husband Dave (also an actor) and having their three children, Dave & Julie moved to the South Padre Island area and were introduced to El Paseo through an audition for a reader’s theater performance. Julie fell in love with the theater again and realized how much she had been missing it.

After acting in a few productions, Julie was asked to become a board member of El Paseo serving, at the time, as the Membership Chairperson. Since then, Julie has worn many hats from acting, assistant directing, stage manager, sound booth operator, set building and design, social media, and directing.

Julie currently works full-time as the Program Director for the Art Business Incubator South Padre Island and loves finding ways to incorporate the ABI artists and their work into El Paseo’s theatre productions. Julie has always had a love for the arts and feels fulfilled in the many ways the arts are a part of her life on South Padre.
