In existence for more than 20 years, Desert Theatre League recognizes excellence in the performing arts by holding a Desert Stars nominating party and awards banquet each year.
Desert Theatre League presented Singer/Musician Yve Evans with its 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award at the Desert Stars Awards event in December 2007.

Desert Theatre League (DTL) applauds the many producers, theater companies, dance companies, cabaret acts and others who put on more than 100 stage productions in California’s Coachella Valley from September 2007 through mid-June 2008.
DTL’s largest effort in support of local community theater is its annual Desert Stars Awards program. Each year, DTL judges attend performances staged by producing members. This year, DTL judges had nearly 500 appointments—since DTL sends five judges to each show—to assess local productions. These range from dramas, to comedies, to musicals, to dances and cabaret shows.

Something New! Desert Theatre League understands that sometimes it’s tough finding just the right site for a new production. Because it is dedicated to helping area producers, DTL created a comprehensive list of Coachella Valley theater venues.

And, if you’re new to the Valley and not a member, please join! DTL welcomes individual members as well asproducers.
