Sister Act / Desert Theatreworks

November 11 – 27, 2026 | Mainstage

Presented by Desert Theatreworks for the 2026-2027 Season

Get ready to raise the roof of our brand-new Mainstage.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, the police hide her in the last place anyone would think to look: a convent. Stuck in a habit, sworn to silence, and surrounded by nuns who've clearly never heard a B-flat in their lives, Deloris turns the convent choir into a soul-shaking, heaven-raising, pew-packing sensation — and in the process, finds a family she didn't know she needed.

Based on the beloved 1992 film, this Tony-nominated musical is pure joy from the opening number to the final curtain. Expect glitter. Expect harmonies that'll raise goosebumps. Expect nuns absolutely bringing down the house. This is feel-good theatre at its very best — a celebration of sisterhood, second chances, and the kind of music that makes a Saturday night in Indio feel like opening night on Broadway.

Launch of our newly reimagined Mainstage. Cocktail tables. Premium bar. The full experience.

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes, including one intermission

Parent Advisory: PG — suitable for ages 10+; contains mild language and comic references to criminal activity.
