Around Queens: Leading Queens Theatre Into a New Era with Julia del Palacio Ep 008

In this episode, I sit down with Julia del Palacio, Executive Director of Queens Theatre, to talk about the moment she left the path she thought she had to follow—and built something bigger. We get into the real work of sustaining the arts, why access still isn’t equal, and what it takes to keep culture not just alive, but essential.

Around Queens is a long-form interview series exploring how people build meaning, systems, and community when the old rules no longer work—focusing on the moments that change direction and the values shaping what comes next.
