A Little Texas in The Big Apple...

Curtis Howard (he/him) is an NYC-based actor, creative producer, choreographer, and theatremaker.

From the little village of Tehuacana, Texas, pop 279. He studied theatre at McLennan Community College in Waco, where his martial arts background helped him excel in his dance classes. He soon studied at Houston Ballet, then at Broadway Theatre Project with Anne Reinking, Ben Vereen, and Gregory Hines, and then at Jacob's Pillow with his mentor, Chet Walker.

Curtis describes his work as "dancing-plays," where the dancing is as much a part of the story as the words. He began creating and producing new theatre works six years ago with a "dancing-play" tribute to his teacher, the legendary jazz dancer Eugene Louis Facciuto (nicknamed "Luigi" by Gene Kelly). 

He saw the quarantine as an opportunity to be a better Producer when he discovered the CUNY Baccalaureate Program, where he custom-designed a BA in the Business of Dance Production. He knocked out 55+ hours in 15 months with a 3.91 GPA, culminating in him producing an original dancing-play, The Golden Handcuffs, about shit-ass life in restaurants. 

Since finishing his degree, he has been steadily working in all facets of theatre from Technical Directing for The Tank and Target Margin Theatre (The Lydian-Gale Parr, 2024), Theatre Now New York (Powerline Road, March 2023 and Face to Face Films (Shadows, Fall 2023) to Production Manager (Relapse, Summer 2023) to directing, choreographing, and performing in Igor Stravinsky’s: A Soldier’s Tale with Village Verein Orchestra to Producing a new musical and night club act about the life and work of Jack Cole (2024).

He's incredibly proud to have worked with Slovo. Theatre Group on MOTHERMOTHERLAND. Slovo. Theatre Group is a collection of Ukrainian Refugees and an infant who make theatre. And their return to NYC with CP4P International Productions of I will dance with those oak trees as long as (January 2024). 

He was a ringmaster in the outdoor circus Stars Above where toured New England with his sourdough starter. It’s here he picked up hat juggling and his hashtag: #ringmastersourdough.

Additionally, he has appeared Off-Off-Broadway in DEDALUS LOUNGE (with Anthony Rapp) and Abingdon Theatre Company's MARATHON '33, New York Musical Festival's REALLY BAD THINGS, and regionally. He has choreographed for companies including The Amoralists, Royal Family Productions, New York Jazz Choreography Enterprises, The Children's Theatre Company, The Edinburgh Theatre Festival, Luigi's Jazz Centre, and LEAP.
