Set in the 1950s, this story is reminiscent of the King of Rock. A songwriter finds himself in trouble when the rock and roll teen heartthrob he writes for, Conrad Birdie, is drafted into the Army. As a publicity stunt to record and sell one more hit record before he is sent overseas, a televised farewell is planned with Birdie set to kiss a preselected All-American girl.

Based on the 1960 novella by Elizabeth Spencer, 'The Light In The Piazza' is set in the 1950s in Florence, Italy, where Margaret Johnson, a wealthy Southern woman, and her daughter Clara, who is developmentally disabled, are vacationing from the US. When Clara falls in love with a young Italian man, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own deep-seated hopes and regrets as well.

Earlier this season, Theatre 29 announced the desert debut of the Off-Broadway musical “Disenchanted” as part of their 2023-24 season. Due to unforeseen casting difficulties, they were not able to continue that project. Director Charles Harvey was able to field a quick replacement show for the same timeframe, the hugely popular ecumenical musical, “Nunsense”.

A pair of “Superheroes in Love” will bring their quadruple threat talents to Oscars Palm Springs for one night only May 11th at 7PM (Dinner and Drink service begins at 5:30pm).  Nicolas Dromard and Desiree Davar, Winners of 2023 BroadwayWorld NYC Cabaret Awards as “Best Duo”, bring their high octane show to the Coachella Valley for the first time.

Theatre 29 is bringing back their Audition 101 workshop to Theatre 29 as a new opportunity to those who have always wanted to try being in the spotlight but didn’t know how to start.

Theatre 29 will hold open auditions for the new Off-Broadway comedy musical “Disenchanted” on Monday, April 8th at 6:00pm on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Book, Music & Lyrics by Dennis T.

Desert TheatreWorks has announced its highly anticipated lineup for the 2024-2025 season, promising to captivate audiences with a diverse selection of productions that promise to entertain, inspire, and provoke thought!

What is it about a good horror story that draws audiences by the cart load?  Is it the adrenaline surge of danger around every corner, even as the viewer remains safely out of danger? Or is it the exploration of the dark side of man’s psyche, feeding a vicarious blood lust in the deep recesses of our primordial hind brains? Or, is it a bit of schadenfreude, particularly if the victim is “deserving”?  All of things await the anxious theatregoer in Palm Canyon’s Theatre’s latest venture, Steven’s Sondheim’s macabre masterpiece “Sweeney Todd”.

For folks of “a certain age” (which I am not telling if I do or do not fall into that category), prolific songwriter and performing artist Carole King provided what could be the official soundtrack to their adolescence.  For those who have not quite crossed that age threshold, you would be surprised how well her music has endured and firmly taken its place in the American songbook, speaking to multiple generations with songs of hope, love and all that comes after.

Theatre 29 is thrilled to announce the cast and creative team of its upcoming production of 'Daddy Long Legs,' a delightful 2-person musical based on the classic novel of the same name which captures the essence of Jane Austen, The Brontë Sisters, and the timeless charm of 'Downton Abbey.'

“Don Quixote”, Miguel de Cervantes’ epic Spanish masterpiece and arguably the world’s first modern novel, has survived the ravages of time since its initial publishing in 1605 as well as the pernicious predations of countless other “authors” who stole Cervantes’ story and published unofficial sequels to the tale over following years, particularly in the new world.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, formerly known as Benjamin Barker, who returns to nineteenth century London, seeking revenge against the judge who framed him many years ago. Renaming himself Sweeney Todd, the now-mad man vows revenge against all who wronged him, applying his razor to unlucky customers and shuttling the bodies down to Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop to supply the pies with cheap, fresh meat. Though many unfortunate souls fall to his blade, Todd will not find satisfaction until he slits the judge’s throat and obtains his final revenge.
