Juliana Francis, also known as Julianna Francis or Juliana Francis-Kelly, is an American playwright and actress. She got an Obie Award for her performance in Richard Foreman's Maria Del Bosco, and a Dramalogue Award for Reza Abdoh's The Hip-Hop Waltz of Eurydice. She has also performed with Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theater and with Abdoh's Dar a Luz Company, of which she was a founding member.
After Abdoh's death, Francis-Kelly began writing plays and screenplays. Her first play, ‘Go Go Go’ (in which she also performed), was directed by Anne Bogart, performed at PS 122 in New York City and the London International Festival of Theatre at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. Go Go Go was published by Theater Forum Magazine and T3 in Europe. It was subsequently translated into Greek and performed by actress Marili Mastrantoni in Athens and in Kiel, Germany.
Anthony Torn's second play was Box. This play was staged at The Women's Project. Other plays she was involved in include The Ontological Hysteric (published in the anthology Rowing to America by Smith & Kraus). An Italian-language version was performed at the Fontanon Festival in Rome. The Baddest Natashas, also directed by Torn, was performed at The Ontological Hysteric and published by Open City. Saint Latrice, which she also directed, was performed at The Collapsible Hole and at PS 122. A German-language version was performed in Graz, Austria. In 2004, Francis-Kelly received a Sundance Screenwriting Fellowship to develop Saint Latrice into a screenplay for The Killer Films Company.
