Biography

Foote acted at a young age in various theatre productions. From age 7 to 14, he was raised on Montserrat, a volcanic island in the Caribbean. [1] He attended University of Michigan, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting in 2016. [3] [4]

Following graduation, Foote appeared in several stage productions, including Luis Valdez' 2017 production of Zoot Suit [5] and the San Diego Repertory Theatre's 2017 production of Hand to God . Critics wrote of Hand to God, "Caleb Foote gives a virtuosic performance, changing his voice and manner (he’s so withdrawn and tic-riddled as Jason, so harsh and antagonistic as Tyrone), while deftly manipulating a puppet with both hands, and discoursing with himself in rapid-fire, angry, funny ways. ... It’s a neck-snapping, challenge, [sic] and it’s thrilling to watch." [6] "Caleb Foote as Jason and Tyrone is remarkable in balancing performances as both the cowering Jason and the aggressive Tyrone. ... there is a marked difference between the two performances. When Jason speaks it is a plea, when Tyrone speaks it is a bark with teeth"; [7] "this is hand puppet Tyrone’s show all the way, which makes this young Foote’s show"; [8] "Foote plays Tyrone, too, with an unearthly way of voicing him that swoops from the guttural to the sing-song. All the while, the actor is also managing Tyrone’s very expressive physical antics while maintaining both sides of conversations between puppet and master. ... It’s an extraordinary performance". [9] For this performance, Foote the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle 2017 Craig Noel Award for Outstanding Male Performance. [3]

<i>Jesus Christ Superstar</i> Rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice

Jesus Christ Superstar is a sung-through rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. Loosely based on the Gospels' accounts of the Passion, the work interprets the psychology of Jesus and other characters, with much of the plot centered on Judas, who is dissatisfied with the direction in which Jesus is steering his disciples. Contemporary attitudes, sensibilities and slang pervade the rock opera's lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the depiction of political events. Stage and film productions accordingly contain many intentional anachronisms.
