JULIETTE TRAFTON starred as Luisa in the longest-running musical in the world, The Fantasticks, directed by Tom Jones in New York City. Before that, she performed the role of Christine Daaé in the Broadway Tour of The Phantom of the Opera where she met and performed with her husband, Stephen. As a commercial artist you can follow her work on national campaigns in all media as well as hosting for companies like Advent Health. A lover of improv, Juliette completed all levels of curriculum at Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC and continues her training at SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando. She loves nothing more than performing with Stephen, and the two have performed at world-class venues nationally, as well as in concert with symphony orchestras. Her favorite roles include Sarah from Guys and Dolls and Jane from Jane Eyre. She's most proud of the Trafton Trio: Tadd, Audra, and Jude.
"Encountering Philippians is one of the most powerful experiences with the Word I've ever had in a worship setting. This is how it was meant to be: heard aloud, aptly expressed, with conviction."
— Elizabeth Davis, Broadway Actress and Tony Award Nominee, Once
