Previews: MID CENTURY MODERNS at Revolution Stage Company Dan Gelfand, co-producer of “Mid-Century Moderns,” announced today the return of the hit jukebox musical in a new theatrical space, the Revolution Stage Company, in downtown Palm Springs near Revivals. Beginning Friday, October 6, the show will play for 8 consecutive weekends of Friday evening performances followed by Saturday and Sunday matinees.


The musical hits of the 1960s come to life in this delightful tale of a plucky Wisconsin widow who transforms from frump to fabulous when she finds herself at the center of modernity in Palm Springs!


Previews: MID CENTURY MODERNS at Revolution Stage Company With an original story and direction by Mark Christopher, best known for the hit movie “54” starring Salma Hayek, Ryan Phillippe and Mike Myers, “Mid-Century Moderns” is the entertaining and comedic musical adventure of Maryann Popecky, who dreams of moving West...to become a secretary! But when her car breaks down in the shadow of Mount SAN JACINTO, it seems the fates have something else in store. She is finally freed from the ghost of her late husband, Ernie, and from all the old ways that have been holding her down. Plus she just might find love...but on her own mid-century terms.
“Mid-Century Moderns” originally debuted April 2022 at Desert Rose Playhouse, and was immediately embraced by critics and audiences. The show continued with performances from December 2022-April 2023.

Broadway World raved, “Great writing, incredible voices, terrific acting and beloved songs combine to make ‘Mid-Century Moderns’ one of the most enjoyable visits to the theatre in a very long time!”


Previews: MID CENTURY MODERNS at Revolution Stage Company And the Coachella Valley Independent enthused, “’Mid-Century Moderns’ is a top-notch musical in every way! A jukebox musical at its best. The musical numbers are all superb. The cast is uniformly terrific. It’s a fun musical trip back to the 1960s well worth taking. You’ll enjoy every minute!”

In December, the show received 11 BroadwayWorld Palm Springs Theatre Award nominations including Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, and Best Lead Performer in a Musical. The show also received multiple 2022 Desert Theatre League Award nominations, winning for Best Supporting Performance by an Actress in a Musical.

“As ‘Mid-Century Moderns’ continues to establish itself as Palm Springs’ home- grown musical theatre event, we are extremely excited and proud to be launching the amazing theatrical space created by the Revolution Stage Company.


We have worked previously with the venue’s Producing Artistic Directors, Gary Powers and James Owens. Their combined many years of theatrical stage experience, along with a fresh perspective and energy regarding Palm Springs theatre, makes RSC a great new home for ‘Mid-Century Moderns,’” said Gelfand, the show’s co-producer.

Tickets for all upcoming shows are available at revolutionstagecompany.com Ticket prices range from $45.00-$65.00. Showtime is 7:00 PM for Friday evening performances, and 2:00 PM for Saturday and Sunday matinee performances.

Revolution Stage Company is located in the Sun Center Shopping Center at 611 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs 92264.
