Steve Cota

Stephen Cota is a director/choreographer, and arts educator. Now living in Toronto, he has leapt, turned, and made funny faces on stages across Canada, and found what would be his creative home at The Stratford Festival for 17 seasons. Steve grew from being a performer and a dance captain to leading rooms as an Associate Choreographer, Assistant Director, and finally as a Choreographer of plays, musicals, and movement pieces. 

Steve also is a faculty member at Sheridan College and Randolph College for the Performing Arts.  It has been the joy of his career to work with aspiring young artists in an educational capacity, helping guide them with the knowledge and practical skills to break into and expand within the industry. 

Choreography credits include: Frankenstein Revived, Love’s Labor’s Lost, Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Mad Woman of Chaillot, Romeo and Juliet, The Hypochondriac (Stratford Festival), Mary Poppins, Matilda (The Grand Theatre)
