BTE Vision
Buffalo Theatre Ensemble (BTE) is rooted in the idea that an acting
ensemble and company, who have a history of working together and have
developed a sense of trust and community, can create better art. BTE
is committed to the American tradition of creating believable characters
in the context of the production's style.
Connie Canaday Howard (BTE
Artistic Director) is a member of BTE's acting ensemble and has also
directed numerous productions for BTE. Other favorite directing projects
with C.O.D., where she is Director of Theater and has directed countless
productions, have been Taming of the Shrew
and The Heidi Chronicles, which received
the award for best non-professional production in Chicagoland. Connie
holds a M.F.A in directing, and has worked regionally with Three Rivers
Shakespeare Festival, City Theatre Company, Belvoir Terrace, Drama Workshop,
Down River Dinner Theatre, Ingersoll Theatre, Charlie's Showplace, and
tours of both theatre and dance, as well as helping to create and perform
several improvisational shows. Ms. Canaday Howard is COD’s Outstanding
Faculty for 2003-2004.
