SUMMARY:CP presents Other Desert Cities
DESCRIPTION:Written by Jon Robin Baitz\nDirected by Laura Gayvert\nPerformance Dates: January 9 – 31\, 2026 \nIn the glare of a Palm Springs Christmas\, a family gathers—and fractures—as long-held secrets surface. A gripping drama of love\, truth\, and political legacy. \nBrooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs to visit her parents after a six-year absence. A once-promising novelist\, she announces to her family the imminent publication of a memoir that dredges up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history – a wound her parents don’t want reopened. In effect\, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. \nPlease Note: Includes intense family conflict\, discussions of suicide\, mental illness\, and political tension. Contains strong language. \nhttp://tickets.thecolonialplayers.org/eventperformances.asp?evt=350 \nThurs-Sat at 8PM\nSun at 2PM
