Synopsis
When Black actor Vanessa Armstrong takes a job as an assistant professor in a sleepy New England college, she's ordered to direct Othello for purposes of "diversifying the curriculum" and must grapple with both the daily complications of the production and the deeper question of teaching creativity in a bureaucratic institution. Drawing her cast from students who've hardly been on stage, she finds herself struggling to simply fill the parts, and when her lead leaves to shoot a Hollywood commercial and the actress playing Desdemona has no chemistry with his understudy (the only other Black student in the theatre program), Vanessa finds herself torn between her role as creative artist and college professor.
