Othello By: William Shakespeare

March 6 - 29, 2026

Jealousy, betrayal, and passion collide in this classic Elizabethan staging of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy. When the esteemed General Othello succumbs to the cunning Iago’s deceptions, suspicion and heartbreak tear apart the bonds of love and loyalty. Featuring some of the most dramatic and iconic moments in all of Shakespeare, Othello is a searing exploration of trust, love, and the devastating consequences of doubt.
