Othello is a timeless masterpiece that delves into themes of love, jealousy, and the human experience. To ensure an authentic and diverse portrayal of this classic, we are actively seeking actors who identify as Black, African American, or of Moorish descent to audition and bring their unique perspective to the stage to tell their story.
Synopsis

Partly to be avenged for this slight and partly because of his dark nature, Iago has determined to destroy Othello’s happiness.
