Performing arts return to Morongo Valley with the reopening of Groves Cabin Theatre

The show must go on. So the Groves Cabin Theatre will reopen on Oct. 28 in Morongo Valley with two showings for the price of one.

The one-act plays kicking off the 2022-23 season are both by Edward Albee — “The Death of Bessie Smith” and “Marriage Play” — and will be performed back-to-back with a general admission price of $25.

“We are proud to reintroduce Groves Cabin Theatre with two plays that are provocative and ever relevant,” Abe Daniels, the venue’s new artistic director, said in a press release. “We thank our many supporters, as well as the pool of impressive regional talent we’ve been fortunate to tap, for investing their sweat and resources in our mission to return this beloved asset to the community.”

The double bill will be presented every weekend from Oct. 28 through Nov. 20. The shows will start at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. The premiere showing on Oct. 28 will cost $35 and will have food and beverages provided as part of a gala celebration.

Groves Cabin Theatre is an award-winning performing arts venue and tradition located 30 minutes north of Palm Springs. The intimate theater was founded by Bill and Joy Groves in the mid-1980s as an innovative showcase for the dramatic arts, and the small but mightly operation continues to offer community theater in the High Desert.

The venue is now under the umbrella of the Wind Walkers Medicine Wheel theatrical family that includes the Joshua Tree Summer Theatre.
