Juliana Hannett ('95)

JULIANA HANNETT received her BA in Theatre (with a minor in Business Administration) from SUNY Oswego in 1995. She began her career as a stage manager but found her calling as a theatrical press agent in 2001. She has had the pleasure of working on many Broadway productions over the years in an agency setting with Boneau/Bryan-Brown, Barlow-Hartman/The Hartman Group, Philip Rinaldi Publicity, and Polk & Co. including the Tony-winning Best Plays Take me Out and The History Boys; Best Musicals Billy Elliot and Memphis; as well as other notable productions such as Beauty and the Beast; 2002 Pulitzer Prize-winner Topdog/Underdog (original Broadway production); the 2010 and 2012 productions of the hit musical Elf; the Broadway revival of David Hare's Skylight (2015 Tony winner for Best Revival); Larry David's Broadway debut as playwright and star of Fish in the Dark; and the2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Flick, by Annie Baker. She also had the pleasure of representing the acclaimed revivals of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge and The Crucible, both directed by Tony Award-winner Ivo van Hove, celebrating Arthur Miller’s centennial in the 2015-16 season.  In the 2016-17 season, Juliana represented the surprise hit Oh, Hello on Broadway starring comedians Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, as well as the stage adaptation of the beloved animated film Anastasia. She then joined the team at Disney Theatrical Productions as publicist for The Lion King, overseeing the campaign for the productions’ 20th anniversary on Broadway, as well as the 4th anniversary campaign for Aladdin. In April 2018, Juliana became a Vice President at Rubenstein, representing a variety of entertainment clients, including the Broadway productions of The Cher Show, Derren Brown: Secret, A Christmas Carol and Girl from the North Country, a new musical featuring the catalog of Bob Dylan which was the last show to open on Broadway prior to the beginning of quarantine in March 2020. Due to the circumstances of the pandemic, Juliana struck out on her own, forming a consultancy that ultimately led to her current position as the General Press Representative for Lincoln Center Theater.  Juliana is only the third person to hold this position at LCT, and the first woman.  She is honored to serve her union as a member of the ATPAM Board of Governors and the ATPAM Press Agent Apprentice Committee.
