The Revolution Stage Company opened its doors in the Fall of 2023, introducing a unique perspective to theatrical productions. Housed in the fully renovated former Desert Rose Playhouse at 611 S Palm Canyon Drive, it offers a distinct experience with 150 comfortable, cushioned seats, a full-service bar, an ice cream station, and brand-new dressing rooms. With a focus on local talent, RSC aims to develop new works that can transition to stages both near and far.
Coachella Valley is brimming with talent, and the Revolution Stage Company provides a premier venue for exceptional live entertainment. Their goal is to elevate the quality of theatre across the region, transforming it into a destination for live entertainment in California. By harnessing the extraordinary capabilities of local artists, they aim to stimulate and uplift the theatre community.
The Company was founded by Gary Powers and James Owens, inspired by their roles in the musical Mid-Century Moderns. They recognized a demand for high-quality live entertainment, especially after the isolation caused by the pandemic. Like the Greeks, who understood the power of communal storytelling, they sought to bring people together through unforgettable productions, new works, and reinvented classics. Their mission is to present stories that resonate, from musicals that make audiences want to sing and dance to plays that tackle complex issues.
Revolution Stage Company is dedicated to inclusive hiring practices, encouraging artists from diverse backgrounds to audition. They celebrate our diverse community and strive to uplift those historically excluded from live theatre. Discounts are available for those on fixed incomes, students, artists, and military members. They also offer reduced prices for specific performances to ensure shows are accessible to everyone.
