Bishop Arts Theatre Center (BATC) kicks off its 30th Anniversary season with an adaptation of OTHELLO by BATC’s playwright-in-residence Franky D. Gonzalez.

When a woman shatters a glass ceiling what waits for her when she lands? Franky Gonzalez' adaptation of Shakespeare’s OTHELLO explores this question and centers on the difficulties of Imani Othello who has been named the first Black woman head coach of a major football team in Dallas, Texas. Immerse yourself in the brilliance of Denise Lee as she breathes life into the indomitable spirit of Othello.

A staff writer on Season Four of 13 Reasons Why, Franky most recently won the Judith Royer Award for Excellence in Playwriting, the Risk Theatre Modern Tragedy Grand Prize, the Crossroads Project Diverse Voices Playwriting Initiative Award, was a co-winner of the MetLife Nuestras Voces Latino named the 4 Seasons Resident Playwright, a Sony Pictures Television Diverse Writers Program Fellow, a Playwrights Center Core Writer, and the Bishop Arts Theatre Center Playwright-in-Residence.
