Stanta'sha Howard

Stanta'sha was an ensemble member at Free Street from 2007-2009.  She played Mecca, the woman aging in reverse in the remount of Mad Joy.  She helped create and performed in Between These Walls.  Stanta'sha is a founder of NeruoKitchen. She is an actor in the movie Breathe (by Stanton Long.)

The years I've worked with Free Street were an oasis in the desert of isolated thoughts​ of my subconscious loneliness. The writing workshops helped me unleash my inner artist. If it wasn't for Free Street I think that 15 year old writer, actor, performer would have died of dehydration. Without the water from that Big Mind and the Deep Well I probably would have been another statistic. Who knows? I thank the directors of Free Street for seeing potential in me that I couldn't see in myself.
