DTW Artsworks

In addition to our main programming areas, Desert TheatreWorks (DTW) is proud to introduce ArtsWorks, a specialized program tailored for seniors. ArtsWorks invites older adults to partake in creative expression, social connection, and personal growth through a variety of performing arts activities designed specifically for their needs. From engaging in play readings to participating in singing sessions, ArtsWorks provides seniors with opportunities to stay active, enhance cognitive function, and cultivate meaningful connections within a supportive community. At DTW, we firmly believe in the transformative power of live performance to inspire, educate, and unite our community. Our commitment to enriching the cultural tapestry of the Coachella Valley drives us to create experiences that resonate with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
