Review: BILLY L'AMOUR AND THE LOVE NOTES at Spirit Animal Supper Club
What did our critic think of BILLY L'AMOUR AND THE LOVE NOTES at Spirit Animal Supper Club?...
Review: STEEL MAGNOLIAS at Theatre 29
“Steel Magnolias”, author Robert Harling’s 1987 stage play, became a cultural zeitgeist after the release of the 1989 film version starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Olympia Dukakis, Shirley MacLaine and Daryl Hannah....
Review: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE at The Bent
The Bent, the Coachella Valley’s LGBTQ+ theatre company, is presenting its first musical, A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, written by Terrence McNally (book), Stephen Flaherty (music), and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics). The writers and composer have put together a moving book, lyrics, and score that create a deeply...
Review: ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME at Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre
Ernest Shackleton Loves Me creates an entertaining fantasy love affair set to music in 90 minutes. The production is brilliantly assembled....
Review: KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN at Palm Canyon Theatre
Palm Springs' vibrant theatre scene is abuzz with anticipation as 'Kiss of the Spiderwoman' takes center stage at the Palm Canyon Theatre. Running through April 26, this compelling production invites audiences into a world of fantasy and harsh reality, brilliantly brought to life by a stellar creati...
Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Desert Theatre Works
The production of The Crucible at Desert Theatre Works in Indio is a crucial reminder of society's existential need for stability. It is definitely worth seeing, even if you've seen it or a version of it before....
Review: Desert Theatricals CABARET Thrills Under The Stars
CABARET at the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater will perform for a three night run. The performance follows an American writer temporarily living in Berlin during the Weimar Republic era....
Review: KNIFE TO THE HEART at Desert Ensemble Theatre
The dialogue is so snappy and funny that I had the feeling the director could have distributed scripts and allowed the actors to take it from there. Wonderful performances. A must-see....
Review: RODGERS + HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA at Theatre 29
In an enchanting evening of music, magic, and memorable performances, Theatre 29's production of 'Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella' breathes new life into the classic fairy tale. ...
Review: BEEHIVE: A 60’S MUSICAL at Desert Theatreworks Keeps Audiences Stomping Along
BEEHIVE: THE 60’s MUSICAL, playing at Desert Theatreworks (DTW) is a revue, meaning that it has no real story. However, director, choreographer, and musical director Lance Phillips presents the show as what I would call a “jukebox documentary”....
Review: JBKO at Revolution Stage Company
Confession— Before I even start, let me remind my readers that I am 37 years young, which may make me the least qualified person to be reviewing this particular show — seeing as all that I know about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is her name, her preferred hat style, and of course the deva...
Review: SUNSET BOULEVARD at Palm Canyon Theatre
What did our critic think of SUNSET BOULEVARD at Palm Canyon Theatre?...
Review: AMERICAN MOOR at Green Room Theatre Company
This show is a must-see. The impact of the writing, acting, and direction will be with you for a very long time....
Review: CHICAGO Brings Razzle Dazzle to the Rancho Mirage Amohitheater
Desert Theatricals brings the legendary Broadway musical Chicago to the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater for a limited three-night run, opening March 13. Packed with murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery — all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts — th...
Review: METEOR SHOWER at Desert Ensemble Theatre
METEOR SHOWER is brilliantly performed and directed. The fast-paced humor and laughs never stop. Running through March 15. Don't miss it....
Review: CAMP MORNING WOOD Leaves Nothing To The Imagination At PRISM Theatre.
Top notch talent, and a WHOLE LOT MORE, is on display in Prism Theatre’s debut production of CAMP MORNING WOOD, which plays through March 22nd in Palm Springs. If you’re looking for an evening a high-art, thought provoking theatre or tasteful musical comedy then you should run the other way as f...
Review: GUYS AND DOLLS at CVRep
It is no surprise that Coachella Valley Repertory has welcomed some super strong talent onto its stage, and Guys and Dolls continues to deliver the level of quality performance we can rely on. This third production of the season is well executed and features several standout characters....
Review: THE GRADUATE is a Winner at Desert Theatreworks
THE GRADUATE, Desert Theatreworks’ current farce, which also contains elements of heavy drama, is, in my opinion, a must-see, both because of the writing and because of DTW’s casting, acting, directing, and staging....
Review: PIPPIN at Revolution Stage Company
At Revolution Stage Company, you will find a triple-threat tour-de-force in Nathan Wilson’s Direction AND Choreography AND Performance as the Leading Player in Steven Schwartz’ Pippin. Pippin is a very successful musical staring Bruno Satalino as the title role. Satalino was simply gorgeous in h...
Review: IN THE WAKE at The Bent
Good theatre can be socially and emotionally regulatory. Finding a safe space to talk about heavy things in a nice way, in an ugly way, straight forward, or hidden in plain sight—The Bent’s production of In the Wake by Lisa Kron offered this in a really good piece of theatre....
Review: IN THE WAKE at The Bent will make theatregoers think.
The Bent, the Coachella Valley’s LGBTQ+ theatre, is presenting a wonderfully directed and acted and technically superb dramedy, IN THE WAKE, by Lisa Kron. The play is well-written and generates lots of laughs and lots of pathos, although I consider it a bit too wordy. Still, it is well worth seein...
Review: HAIR at Palm Canyon Theatre
What did our critic think of HAIR at Palm Canyon Theatre?...
Review: LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR at Desert Theatreworks
Neil Simon’s LAUGHTER ON THE 23rd FLOOR is a brilliant comedy with a great deal of bite, but without the underlying tone of sexism aimed at entitled women that Simon’s work sometimes displays. Desert Theatreworks (DTW) presents a top-notch production with an A-list cast that more than does justi...
Review: DISPERSION OF LIGHT at Desert Ensemble Theatre
Desert Ensemble Theatre’s (DET’s) world premiere production of DISPERSION OF LIGHT, a historical drama by Richard Rubin, is, as usual, brilliantly directed and acted and technically superb. Mr. Rubin has written a dark psychological study that requires a great deal of thought on the audience’s...
