CSC’s Young Company makes Shakespeare accessible, relevant, and fun to students through workshops and performances in schools and at our theatre.
Our Young Company returns with a production of OTHELLO specially tailored for young audiences. Now beginning its second decade, this unique collaboration with the Graduate Acting Program of Columbia University’s School of the Arts has now grown to reach all five of New York’s boroughs, introducing more than 20,000 young people to the power of live theatre and becoming a multi-year recipient of the Shakespeare in American Communities grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
The esteemed General Othello promotes Cassio instead of Iago fueling Iago’s jealousy. Iago, in turn, plans his revenge in incredibly malicious ways causing suspicion amongst lovers and friends. The results are tragic as suspicion grows, trust is lost and Othello is compelled to take action against his lovely wife who he believes to be unfaithful. This is a visceral telling of Shakespeares great tragedy of Envy, Revenge and Damaged Love.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
FRIDAY MARCH 4th & 11th @ 7 PM
