On October 24 and/or November 1, see one of the best shows written by Jon Robin Baitz: OTHER DESERT CITIES produced by Equality Productions and directed by Brian Westerley.

Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history—a wound they don’t want re-opened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it.

The talented group of actors who volunteered their talents to raise money for worthy organizations is: 

Brooke - Melanie Korman

Lyman - Kevin Jones

Polly - Rose Gabriele

Silda - Mindy Shaw

Trip - Kieron Cindric
