"Other Desert Cities" by Jon Robin Baitz was originally titled "Love and Mercy," and you ll find both in the script, according to Smokehouse Players founders Terry Vaughan and Tim Gilster. The drama, on stage Nov. 9-11 in Fayetteville, promises to be sometimes hilarious, sometimes mysterious, often poignant and thought provoking from beginning to end. Vaughan says everything the audience thinks at the beginning will be turned upside at least once as secrets are revealed in a family "whose history has been based entirely on lies."
