Every family has a secret. Not every family survives it.
On Christmas Eve, the sunlit Palm Springs home of a politically connected family becomes a battleground of memory, loyalty, and legacy when a daughter returns with a memoir and the power to expose the explosive truth they’ve kept hidden. As the past comes into focus, the question isn’t just what happened, but who owns a family’s story, and what is the cost to tell it.
The design team for Other Desert Cities will include three-time Tony Award winner Scott Pask (scenic design), Emmy Award winner Tom Broecker (costume design), eight-time Tony Award winner Natasha Katz (lighting design), two-time Tony Award nominee Mikaal Sulaiman(sound design and original music), Robert Pickens (hair and wig design), Richard Hodge (production stage manager), and Jim Carnahan CSA (casting director).
Other Desert Cities is produced by ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live, Gavin Kalin Productions, Kristin Caskey, Bee Carrozzini and Mike Isaacson. Samuel Dallas / Envoy Theatricals will serve as general manager for the production.
