2025 Shakespeare in the Parks: OTHELLO at Fred Fletcher Amphitheatre

The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in this spring's free-to-the-public, outdoor performance of Shakespeare in the Parks: OTHELLO.

A classic tale of jealousy, power and prejudice, the play tells the story of Noble Moorish general Othello who is secretly married to his beloved Desdemona. Othello chooses Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign Iago. Enraged, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion which leads to tragic violence and irreversible loss.

A perfect afternoon of culture and entertainment–this gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play.

Production is rated PG for adult themes and violence.

Free general admission.

VIP seating options available.
