Other Desert Cities
By John Robin Baitz
Directed by Tina Thronson
In this searing comedy-drama, young writer Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs to celebrate Christmas with her famous and politically-connected parents, brother and aunt. When she announces her plans to publish a tell-it-all memoir of crucial events in the family’s past, she brings to light secrets, intrigue, fear and a surprising twist that even she can’t fathom. This riveting new play was nominated for a 2012 Tony Award for Best Play and was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize.
