Run of the Mill Theatre to Present OTHELLO in 2010-2011 Season, Oct. 22-31

Run of the Mill Theatre has wrapped up their 2009-2010 season, one which saw RotM spread its work across the City and across the centuries. Beginning with the ancient Greeks (getting a little help from Lou Rawls) their production of Lysistrata played at St. Johns Church in Charles Village. Next The Piano Lesson brought them back to Theatre Project in the Spring. Variations on Beauty, the sixth in its series, was a showcase of new local works created for RotM and presented at the Maryland Institute College of Art; and most recently, the debut of the annual 24-hour play festival, The North Avenue Plays presented at ArtScape last month.

Before Run of the Mill moves on to deal with the new 2010-2011 season, and reminds its patrons of City Paper's annual BEST OF BALTIMORE awards.

The Run of the Mill Theatre has just concluded auditions for the first production of the 2010-2011 season. Othello will be performed October 22-31 at the LOF/t, 120 W. North Avenue.

Longtime RotM artist Alec Lawson will direct.

"Othello is important to me because of how the play speaks to us as individuals of insecurity; that no matter how strong or confident we are, we are still plagued with thoughts that our lovers are unfaithful and that we get passed over for our accomplishments. Othello remains, to me, the most applicable play to our time." -Alec Lawson
