Picasso at the Lapin Agile
@ Chenango River Theatre
"Paris, 1904. The Lapin Agile. Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, whose egos are as big as their intellects, spar with the regulars and each other about art, science, inspiration, love, and the promise of the 20th century, made all the more interesting by a mysterious visitor with a penchant for blue suede shoes....Parker Howland [makes his] CRT debut as Schmendiman..."

The Elephant Man
@ Ti-Ahwaga Theatre
"At the beginning of The Elephant Man, John Merrick lets out an anguished howl of a man who has lost all hope. As played by Parker Howland, it’s a striking moment in the play that is in the middle of a three-weekend run at the Ti-Ahwaga Performing Arts Center in Owego.
Howland’s skillful and sensitive performance is at the center of the production...the performance movingly captures the key traits of Merrick’s personality...such as his sensitivity, sense of humor, intelligence and, ultimately, his sense of loneliness...It’s masterfully done."
-George Basler, Broome County Arts Council April 11, 2024.

Everybody
@ SUNY New Paltz
“'Everybody' is a play adaptation of the 15th century 'Everyman,' which is an adaptation of a play even older than that, written as a response to the Black Death. During every performance, the cast pulls a name out of a hat and the cast member’s name that is picked will play the main role...Cast member Parker Howland said, 'as performers, to react spontaneously and stay present in our scenes' is very challenging, but also isn’t a challenge they can’t handle. Howland also said that he looks forward to the audience’s reaction every night. Due to the challenges this play takes on, the actors have become very close on and off-stage. 'In a show like this one, that sense of community, support and trust is extremely important,' said Howland....'This play about death is a celebration of life,' said Howland."
