Othello Opens July 25th!

After a "brilliant, sparkling" production of Much Ado About Nothing, the ISC summer season continues with the powerful drama of Othello.

With penetrating psychological insight, Shakespeare's most emotionally intense tragedy explores the destructive effects of jealousy, racism, class resentment, gender inequality, and the tragic human truth that we can never truly know what another person is thinking.

This production features Ithaca- and NYC-based actor Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr. as Othello.

Godfrey is a 2012 recipient of a Fox Foundation Fellowship for Distinguished Achievement and has nearly 25 years of experience as an actor. He has performed with Epic Theatre Ensemble in NYC, Syracuse Stage, Playwrights Horizons, and numerous other companies. On television, he has appeared on All My Children, As the World Turns, Law and Order, NYPD Blue, and Third Watch. He has been a Resident Professional Teaching Associate at Cornell University and taught acting at Marymount Manhattan College and Binghamton University. He is currently the Artistic Director of Ithaca's Civic Ensemble.
