Michael Howard was a wonderful teacher, artist, human being and friend. Seeing Mike always put a smile on your face and when he left you, he left you with a warm feeling in your heart. He was loved and admired by many, and he will be missed by more, much including me.

Marvelous acting teacher and mentor for so many of us.
My life is eternally blessed having had Michael as a director in MAJOR BARBARA at Boston University in 1976 and being his student from 1977 to 1984 In NYC and visiting the class after that over the decades. Any artistic success on any level that I experienced In this life was a direct result of Michael's guidance. I am so eternally grateful. Will love him
always.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING ❤
