Palm Springs Mini Modernism Week Oct 19-22
MINI Modernism Week – October will take place October 19-22, 2023. While smaller in scope than the 11-day festival held annually each February, the October event offers more than 50 events during 4-days, including several free and low-cost programs.
A hallmark of Modernism Week events are the inspirational and educational tours of neighborhoods, significant buildings, and residences. Signature events include Premier Double Decker Architectural Bus Tour, tours of Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms estate, the Palm Springs Modernism Show, architectural walking and biking tours, tours of the historic Annenberg Estate at Sunnylands, parties, and a special series of compelling and informative talks. A portion of ticket proceeds benefit Modernism Week (a non-profit organization) and other local preservation, neighborhood and community groups.

Now that she’s running wild and free, she’s ready to share those irreverent thoughts with you through new parodies of Cardi B, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande; Bunny’s salute to Laugh-In; and other brand new material mixed with some so old that only the dead will recall it. For Drag Race fans, Bunny zaps all the queens and RuPaul in a side-splitting parody of Madonna’s Vogue. Get ready for over an hour of live vocals and belly laughs.

Best Play in Palm Springs
ELECTRICITY is a very funny, sexy and surprisingly emotional journey through the changes that occurred in the LGBTQ community between 1983 and 2013.
It navigates a world where gay life was hidden in bars and sex clubs to one where equality might just be a reality–if Gary and Brad can only believe that they deserve it.
You don’t want to miss this electric event taking place
at INNdulge Palm Springs.
1 show per night with limited seating.

“The hottest play in Palm Springs…
A must-see”
–Diane Anderson-Minshall, THE ADVOCATE
“ELECTRICITY is shockingly good…
The show is expertly executed…
Witty, bitchy, at times gritty and moving, the show hits all the right notes, delivering the perfect combination of sweet, sexy, uproarious, and at times, sad. But like any memorable love story, it all ends up going right to the heart.”
–Winston Gieseke, PALM SPRINGS LIFE
“A rich character-driven delight…
Playful and poignant, the “Electricity” has a charge that extends not just between the characters but well into the audience.”
–Margaret Quamme, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
