Bard Fest: Othello

Bard Fest is a 3-weekend Shakespeare Festival located in the charming Carmel Arts District of Indianapolis. This year, Bard Fest will celebrate it's first year by bringing together 3 of Indy's favorite local theatre companies: CRP, First Folio, and Garfield Shakespeare Co. Each unique company will present one of Shakespeare's classics in the intimate Studio 15 Theatre in Carmel. Through the generous sponsorship of the Carmel Theatre Company, Bard Fest will provide paying work for some of Indy's greatest Shakespeare talents.

Bard Fest will also feature CRP's Shakespeare Trivia Night's at Woody's Pub, thanks to our friends at Indy's Live Trivia. Other acts and events include, Improv Comedy, Music, Magic, and Fringe Encore acts.

Garfield Shakespeare Company will revive their successful run of Othello: Othello, played by celebrated stage new comer, Tyler Gordon, tells a classic story of jealousy and absolution. Iago, a private serving under Othello in the Venetian military, is skipped over for a promotion for the inexperienced Cassio. Iago is also plagued with rumors that his wife has been unfaithful with Othello. With the aid of Roderigo, Iago sets in motion a revenge scheme that will see Othello's tragic downfall. Directed by Garfield's own Chris Burton.
