Now, here’s a concept – the comedy of “Othello.” Experience the Moor of Venice as you’ve never done before, laughing at this tragedy turned into comedy with the egotistical and manipulating Iago (cue villain music) directing the trusting Othello and his friends into destruction.

Call 971-0677 or visit clearheartgallery.com.
