J. Productions seeks to inspire a love of theatre, spark the imagination and provoke new ways of seeing the world around us. We aim to nurture world-class English language theatre in our city and see it grow.
J. Productions, set up by Julia Holden, is dedicated to bringing top quality classic and modern English theatre to the stages of our city. Julia is a theatre producer and founding artistic director of J. Productions Milan, specialising in hosting and producing top quality English-language theatre in Milan and throughout Italy.
Since founding J.Productions in 2019, Julia has presented many professional English language shows at centrally located theatres in Milan. She also presented a number of English language shows at the International Roman Theatre Festival in Volterra.
She is a partner in one of Italy’s top IP law firms, Trevisan & Cuonzo, headquartered in Milan with offices in Rome, Parma and Bari. Her professional background as an Intellectual Property lawyer has positioned her to work closely within the creative industries in the fields of brands, trademarks and copyright. Since 2013, she has collaborated closely with award-winning British playwright Justin Butcher, Olivier-award winning director and actor Guy Masterson-Mastroianni, director and actor Illona Linthwaite and many other artists from the UK and Italy to bring a diverse and original programme of English-language theatre to Milan.
