John Carlos Lefkowitz

John Carlos identified with Billy Elliot from an early age, having committed themselves to ballet at an early age, a surefire way to be accused of poofery. Studying at the Kirov Academy of Washington DC and the Gelsey Kirkland Academy in DUMBO Brooklyn, they performed in many ballet roles, including the Nutcracker Grand Pas, in both academy and company performances. Despite their love for ballet, a chance encounter with Spielberg convinced them to pursue acting instead. They studied for several years at The Barrow Group, and they’ve found much joy in performing at Elmwood Playhouse, most recently in Significant Other. They are happy to be performing on the Antrim stage in a love letter to ballet and labour.
