'Othello'

22nd Annual Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival

'Othello'

Racial animus, jealousy and revenge drive Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Othello. This masterwork of early modern drama features the playwright’s most famous and arguably best-crafted villain, Iago. In a tale that feels all too contemporary, the villain’s weapons of choice are his victim’s own prejudice and paranoia. Iago wields them with a merciless intelligence, smiling as he effects the ruin of the noble Othello and his naïve young bride, Desdemona, and dragging down the entire state in the process. Join us under the stars for this truly timeless masterpiece.

Festival grounds open at 5:30 p.m. for pre-show picnicking and entertainment. 

The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company is the professional theater company of Cal Lutheran. The nonprofit organization coordinates apprentice programs for professional and aspiring Shakespearean actors, an educational tour program in local schools, and summer theater camps for youth. 

General admission is $25 for adults, $20 for seniors 65 and over, $15 for students with ID and, as always, free for everyone under 18. Reserved lawn boxes have room for six and are available online for $90–$110. Parking is available in the lot off Mountclef Boulevard just south of Olsen Road.
