Who’s Who At The Cayman National Cultural Foundation

Henry Muttoo, MBE, OC, D'Arts (Hons), MA
Artistic Director
Henry Muttoo is one of the Caribbean’s foremost Theatre Arts practitioners and is a household name in regional theatre, arts and cultural practices. He is an award winning actor, stage director and designer, and Arts Manager.
His formal training began when he was 16 years old, with a three-year apprenticeship programme at the Theatre Guild of Guyana. This was followed by studies in advanced Acting, Directing and Stage Management at University of the West Indies, Theatre Design (Settings & Costumes) at Croydon College of Art & Design, UK; and a Masters Degree in Theatre Practices at Manchester University (Rose Bruford College), Kent, UK.
He has worked in the theatre and cultural arts fields throughout the Caribbean designing and/or directing for every major artist, including Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, lectured at the University of the West Indies (Mona, Jamaica) and was, for seven years, a senior tutor at the School of Drama, Edna Manley College of the Arts in Jamaica. Henry has been a regular Visiting Scholar at the University of South Florida, where he has taught design and directed three Caribbean classics: Errol John’s “Moon on a Rainbow Shawl” and Derek Walcott’s “Ti Jean & His Brothers” and “Pantomime”. He has directed in London, Holland and Toronto. Henry was a founder-member of the iconic Guyanese theatre Company, All Ah We, the first regional company to seriously promote Caribbean literature through stage performance.
In Cayman, Henry’s visionary work in culture and the arts as Artistic Director at the Cayman National Cultural Foundation, since 1989, has helped to recalibrate the national discourse on the arts and culture in society, influenced the work of many of Caymanian’s finest artists and given a more assured voice to Caymanian artists and culture-makers. He has been the Artist Director for all but one of Cayman’s showings in CARIFESTA – the Caribbean Festival of the Arts and, since 1972, has represented three countries at Carifesta – Guyana, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
Henry has received numerous national awards and honours for his work as actor, director and designer including, the Member of the British Empire, the CNCF Heritage Cross, the Cayman Heritage Pioneer, and the Order of Cayman for his contributions to the development, preservation and celebration of Caymanian arts and culture. He is also a recipient and the Golden Arrow of Achievement (NY) for his contribution to Guyanese arts and culture.

Marcia Muttoo, MFA

And, although she most often stays behind the scenes, she is also been recognised for her work as a stage actress.
Outside of the Cayman Islands, Marcia has considerable depth of experience in non-profit arts management in the Caribbean and the United States, having held positions and fellowships at the Barbados Carifesta Secretariat, Brooklyn College (CUNY), Brooklyn Academy of Music, Manhattan Theatre Club, Arts International and the Edna Manley College of the Performing Arts.
