Squigs Pays a Return Visit to the Fractured Family of Other Desert Cities

When it comes to Other Desert Cities, one visit wasn’t enough for Broadway.com resident artist Justin ‘Squigs’ Robertson. After penning a portrait of the show’s original off-Broadway cast in January, Squigs happily saw a second performance of Jon Robin Baitz’s acclaimed family drama in its current Broadway run at the Booth Theatre. TV favorites Rachel Griffiths and Judith Light have joined Stockard Channing, Stacy Keach and Thomas Sadoski in the play, which traces a fraught holiday season in the life of a prominent Palm Springs clan. Other Desert Cities is set to open on November 3; if you haven’t seen it yet, get tickets now!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home. Click to e-mail Squigs. Photo by Matthew Murphy
