THEATRE THREE PRODUCTIONS, INC.
announces the
The Thirteenth
Annual Julie Peierls Scholarship
 An
annual scholarship of $1000 will be presented to a
graduating senior from a Long Island high school in memory of Long
Island actress Julie Peierls, who passed away in November of 1999.
A graduate of
the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (class of 1959), Julie’s
forty-year career included work in academic, stock, regional, and
educational theatre. Since 1970, most of her work was with Theatre
Three, where she directed the group’s second production, Spoon
River Anthology. She received praise for leading roles ranging
from dramas such as The Lion in Winter and One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest to comedies such as Bedroom Farce and A Little Hotel
on the Side. She toured Long Island schools for almost ten year’s
in the anti-DWI play And These, Our Friends. She was admired and
respected by her colleagues for the meticulous care she would
bring to even the smallest role. She made an indelible impression
on anyone with whom she worked.
