Yellow Springs theater audience will choose best Julia Child impersonator
The Little Art Theater and the nearby Winds Cafe are teaming up to have a little fun with the screening of “Julie and Julia” this Friday, Sept. 4.
The theater will host a “Julia Child ‘Fake-Off’” in which contestants are invited to dress as Julia Child and offer a short skit, cooking tip or favorite Julia quote at 7:30 p.m. Friday prior to the 8 p.m. Yellow Springs premiere screening of the movie starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. And the audience for the screening will judge the contestants.
Actress Rani Crowe, who portrays a character she calls Julia-Jean Child, will serve as master of ceremonies for the contest and will host a “Cocktails with Julia” cocktail hour at The Winds Cafe beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Winds is also offering a Julia Child-inspired entree Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights this week. Those ordering the entree will receive a $1.50 discount on the “Julie & Julia” screening ticket — $6 rather than $7.50.
For more information about the event, reservations for the cocktail hour or special restaurant entree, contact Mary Kay Smith at mk@windscafe.com or call (937) 767-1144. For more information about the movie screening, contact Jenny Cowperthwaite at latys@sbcglobal.net or call (937) 767-7671.

What a fun idea. We have already seen the movie but will consider coming to the Winds for the Julia Child “inspired” meal!

They’ll pick the one that looks closest to KarL Marx, Ingalls, Leon Trotsky, or Lenin…and I don’t mean John.

Gotta be a big woman for starters. Also no style would be helpful.
