Our revolution began when Gary Powers and James Owens, starring in the musical MID-CENTURY MODERNS, began having conversations about what could be possible within the theater community of Coachella Valley. Gary and James clearly saw a desire for high-quality live entertainment, particularly after the devastating effects of the pandemic when many felt isolated. The Greeks discovered long ago: stage productions bring people together for a communal experience unlike any other, transformed by well-crafted storytelling, as expressed by actors, re-enacting the audiences' own experiences. Your Revolution Stage Company will present unforgettable productions, develop new work, reinvent classics, bringing audiences to their feet and generating excitement for future possibilities. This is our Revolution!

The RSC is dedicated to telling stories that run the gamut from musicals, making audiences want to sing and dance, to plays addressing complicated issues, and everything in between. We'll take beloved shows and transform them with innovative directors. Our company is committed to collaboration, bringing talented artists to our welcoming, newly-renovated stage, and working with the performers and designers in the area to make Palm Springs become a well-known destination for the best in theatre productions.

As a lifelong performer and theatre enthusiast, joining Revolution Stage Company is a natural step in my march to bring high-quality, live theatrical experiences to the Valley. It’s my sincere belief that theatre not only inspires but saves lives.

For many, including me, theatre has become my home, my sanctuary, and my place of escape in an otherwise chaotic world - a place to explore the world through expression and fantasy. The world of theatre and its possibilities are unlimited (unintended Wicked reference) and in this limitless world, we get to try anything and watch the magic created through our experiments dazzle the audience!

 

This is why I LOVE live theatre.
