From Siena's website the synopsis of Other Desert Cities is "Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas. 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 reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it".
The play was held in Siena's Stubnitz Lab Theater. It is much smaller and more intimite then their Performing Arts Center. I arrived close to curtain time and sat in the front row to the left of the stage. It was neat to be very close to the actors and stage. Usually when I go to plays, I sit in the middle or back of the theater. Sitting right next to the stage gave me a different perspective of the play.
Other Deserts Cities is a play by Jon Robin Baitz. The play was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play at Siena Heights University was directed by Mark DiPietro.
