"Othello" on the Common in 2010

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company will offer "Othello" as its 15th annual Shakespeare on the Common production in July and August 2010. Exact dates for the 20 performances and casting have not been set, but CSC "will once again be the sole producer of this program and responsible for raising the entire budget for this year’s production." That's a sign that CSC is forging ahead after last year's "Comedy of Errors" production was a success despite the company's parting of the ways with Citi Performing Arts Center. Good news for the city and the tens of thousands who turn out for the company's productions every year. “The success of Shakespeare on the Common relies on the continued support of the public.” Said General Manager, Gali Halpern. “We ask our fans to go to our website and make a donation to help give Othello the stage it deserves.”
