In Jon Robin Baitz's OTHER DESERT CITIES, directed by Paula Keenan. Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's history - a wound they don't want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it.
OTHER DESERT CITIES is the winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play. This is a scathingly funny, deeply felt family drama...with wisdom and compassion. Funny, fierce, invigorating and intelligent. Starring Casey Cobb, Stan Zawatsky, Betsy Greenblatt, Ricky Shafer, and Gerrie Benzing as Brooke.
Show dates: November 25, 26, December 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17 at 7:30 p.m. November 27, December 11, 18 at 3 p.m.
NOTE: No performances of Other Desert Cities on Dec 1, 2, 3, & 4th due to Snow Fest at the Golden Gate Community Center.
