Dezart Performs Brings Pulitzer Prize Winning RABBIT HOLE To Palm Springs

Dezart Performs presents the Pulitzer Prize winning play RABBIT HOLE to the Pearl McManus theater in the historic Palm Springs Woman's Club for eight gripping performances, January 12-21, . There will be an opening night party with the cast following the performance on Friday, January 12th. This compelling Pulitzer Prize-winning play opened on Broadway in 2006 and was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Play. RABBIT HOLE was also adapted for a 2010 film starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart.

RABBIT HOLE will be directed by Scott Smith, who has been active both as actor and director throughout the Coachella Valley. He has appeared in several Dezart Performs' productions including THE OUTGOING TIDE (Desert Theater League Outstanding Supporting Actor award) and CASA VALENTINA. With RABBIT HOLE, Scott will be making his directorial debut at Dezart Performs. Previous directing credits include CAMELOT, MAN OF LA MANCHA, THE FULL MONTY, and NOISES OFF (co-directed with Michael Shaw).

RABBIT HOLE is a captivating drama that stirs the emotions when a life-shattering accident turns Becca and Howie Corbett's world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. They both search for comfort and a path that will lead them back into the light of day. RABBIT HOLE features Deborah Harmon, Phylicia Mason, Artistic Director Michael Shaw, Yo Younger, and introduces Jonathan Hatsios.

Dezart Performs will be celebrate its 10th Anniversary on Sunday, January 14th with a glamorous party at Eight4Nine Restaurant and Lounge following the matinee performance on the same day. The celebration will feature food, wine, and will be attended by theatre alumni and supporters, celebrities and city officials. Tickets are $50 and may be purchased at www.dezartperforms.org.

"With RABBIT HOLE we are swinging the creative pendulum from the lighthearted fare of THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE to this emotionally-searing and moving family drama," commented Dezart Performs Artistic Director, Michael Shaw. "We believe our audiences will go along with us on this journey of exploration of the human heart."
