Who's Who

Arche Twitty

as Othello

Arche Twitty is a lover of words, great stories, and (theatrical) drama. Having caught the acting bug in 2022, Arche has had the honor of sharing the stage with some of the city's most talented actors and directors as a member of the Scenic City Shakespeare company. Arche is honored to step into a dream role as Othello with such an amazing cast.
Morgan Robbins

as Desdemona

Morgan Robbins is tickled pink to be in her fourth season with this incredible company. She discovered her love of Shakespeare here after years of acting and directing contemporary theater. It still surprises her how some things stay the same throughout the centuries. She would like to thank you for your support.
Ryan Laskowski

as Iago

Ryan Laskowski co-founded Scenic City Shakespeare in the fall of 2019. He has served as director and designer for Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream/Comedy of Errors Double Feature, Hamlet, Love's Labour's Lost, and the COVID era series - Self-Isolated Shakespeare.
