Connie Canaday Howard
Growing up in Iowa, Connie Canaday Howard had an unusual mix of interests — she loved dance and theatre, but she also liked riding motorcycles and three- and four-wheelers. Fortunately for local theatre-goers, Canaday Howard eventually focused her efforts on the stage, which led her to a position teaching theatre at College of DuPage. She eventually became Director of Theatre at the college and early on also became a member of the Buffalo Theatre Ensemble (BTE), a professional in residence performance company. For the last 24 years Canaday Howard has served as that group’s Managing Artistic Director. As she prepares to step down from that role this June, she took time to reflect on her time with BTE and her long and distinguished career in theatre.
