Desert Theatreworks has done a fabulous job with its final presentation of the season, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, a one act, two-character, mostly sung-through musical by Jason Robert Brown. Mr. Brown's take on the disintegration of a marriage, which unfolds before the audience's eyes and ears in eclectic musical styles, is emotionally powerful. The music, performed live by a keyboard and violin, and the superb on-stage performances in the production, help make this one of the most memorable shows I've seen.

Desert Theatreworks' (DTW's) hilarious production of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG generates uproarious laughs at least once or twice a minute; I actually wanted the laughs to slow down because laughing so much made me cough. This show is a must-see.

You don't have to go to NYC to find talented young up-and-coming performers. The Media Theatre's summer contest "The Vocalist" allows local young singers to shine on stage Wednesday nights at 7pm (July 11, 18, and 25), while "Vocalist Junior" entertains on Sundays at 7pm July 8 through August 5.

You don't have to go to NYC to find talented young up and coming performers. The Media Theatre's summer 'Vocalist' and 'Vocalist Junior' events allow local youth to shine on stage each Wednesday and Sunday night from July 6 through August 14.

?It's a Super Summer at The Media Theatre! With many shows to choose from including Andrew Lloyd Webber's "School of Rock" musical and a new Cabaret Series, theatre goers of all ages will have plenty to keep them entertained.

Fox-TV Channel 29's super weather anchor, Sue Serio, has a knack for calling it like she sees it when it comes to The Media Theatre's 'Vocalist' contest. Having emceed the popular summer singing competition for several years, Serio opened the year's event once again. With her warm, welcoming spirit and terrific connection to the enthusiastic audience, Serio said the night's show was 'Astonishing'. 

The Media Theatre is where you'll find the best local up and coming talent this summer in the 2015 'Vocalist' and 'Vocalist Junior' contests. Young singers from elementary school age through college and a bit beyond will entertain audiences twice per week beginning July 8 for five weeks. Media Music Theatre Company produces the event each summer.

Pressure can be defined as 'the stress or urgency of matters demanding attention'. Nothing demanded more attention to 25 young singers Wednesday night July 30 more than 'The Vocalist' contest at The Media Theatre. They knew at the end of the night only 15 would return for the 'Vocalist' finals on August 6.
