The Desert Theatre League nominations were announced August 1st, with Dezart Performs receiving 27 nominations in 16 categories. We couldn’t be more proud. Congratulations to all!
“This moment of celebration comes at a much needed time for our theatre community. With the shutdown, and cancellation of so many shows, this moment reminds us of the great work that we were all in the middle of accomplishing. Bittersweet, yes, but affirming, as we are all look forward to the future and reemergence of live theatre,” said Michael Shaw, artistic director.
