Other Desert Cities

Other Desert Cities is a play about a family gathering for the holidays in Palm Springs. The daughter, a writer, plans to publish a memoir that rehashes a painful family secret, leading to conflict and revelations about how the past shapes the present. It's a sharp, character-driven piece that explores themes of memory, truth, and loyalty within a seemingly perfect facade. This showing of Other Desert Cities is on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at the Hudson Theatre in New York. The Hudson is a historic Broadway house, offering a classic theatrical setting for this kind of dramatic work. Audiences who appreciate thoughtful dialogue and nuanced family dynamics will likely find this engaging.
