First thing's first: you can find tickets to Mfoniso Udofia's adaptation of OTHELLO here! All tickets are Pay-What-You-Can and performances start tonight (Thursday, April 8) and run through Saturday, April 17.
What you need to know about this production of OTHELLO is that it's set in a modern-day, elite, predominantly white, all-female, academic collegiate institution. Director JaMeeka D. Holloway helms the all Black femme creative team, which includes Monèt Noelle Marshall, the Dramaturg & Intimacy Director.
On today's episode, we discuss the importance of self-care, the impact of institutions continually producing work that is harmful to marginalized communities, and the ways in which systemic racism is embedded throughout the industry.
