Review: 'A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE' at Theatre 29
by Charlie Thomas - Palm Springs
(03/07/2025) - Pulling into the hi-desert with a head of steam, clash and clatter is Tennessee Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize winning drama 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.

The play, featuring Bobbie Breckenridge as the fragile and complex Blanche DuBois, Deacon Ledges as the brutish yet charismatic Stanley Kowalski, and Victoria Shupe as the conflicted Stella Kowalski, offers a compelling exploration of desire, illusion, and the harsh realities of life.

Review: MARY POPPINS at Palm Canyon Theatre
by Charlie Thomas - Palm Springs
(12/06/2024) - What holiday season can be claimed as complete without a Disney musical, right?

Palm Canyon Theatre provides that much needed “spoon full of sugar” into their magically musical punch bowl of fun, “Mary Poppins”.

Review: SHUNNED at Palm Canyon Theatre
by Charlie Thomas - Palm Springs
(10/07/2024) - Upon sitting down to see Palm Canyon’s newest production, 'Shunned' written by Larry Parr, I was admittedly ignorant of what I was about to behold. 'Shunned' offers a compelling exploration of the Amish way of life, juxtaposing tradition against the inevitable pull of modernity. The nuanced performances of the cast bring depth to characters who are wrestling with the desire to honor their heritage while confronting personal dreams and societal change.
