Their play choices are similar to other venues in greatet Coachella Valley, but their volunteer spirit really stands out. We go pretty regularly, and their staff and especially their volunteers and mostly volunteer entertainers recognize us and are very appreciative. The venue itself is rather small, and a little constrictive with an unusual side stage often used. But they make up for it with their spirit. And, their audiences are almost always highly attuned to the performers, especially the k8ds. Good job for an outlying community. Roger Medanich

In the middle of this very rural area, sparsely populated and laced with dirt roads, sits this amazing oasis of desert energy and local community culture. Programs include First Saturday Breakfast cooked and served by an all-volunteer staff ($5). Delicious and you sit at community tables with super-friendly desert dwellers. First Tuesday Bingo is a hoot and there's a CAKE break for $1. In addition there's a USDA Food Distribution for low-income residents, a PTSD group, monthly board meeting and an incredible THRIFT STORE open during events. Rock bottom prices and new stuff all the time. Summers bring movies in the outfield screened against a cargo container. Come get a taste of the desert at a community center kept open purely with member funding. You'd be hard pressed to find another place as wonderful as the Copper Mountain Mesa Community Center.

****** STORYTIME ******…read more Once upon a time, there was a Heavy Psych Fest that took place at the High Desert Cultural Center. One day, Kimberley decided to buy tickets to the event without knowing what Kimberley was about to get into .. As Kimberley arrived to the event, Kimberley could feel the energy and excitement in the air and the earth moving below her. Clueless Kimberley, having no idea what to expect and no experience with this type of music decided to enter the concert venue anyway, as the tickets were already purchased ahead of time. As the earth rumbled under foot as if the devil was banging on the underbelly of the earth's crust, the first band performed well and was so hardcore that her ears were about to bleed. She tried to position herself as far as possible from the stage and brace herself on a building so as to prepare the body to enjoy it, but it was just too much for her. She decided to stick around for a little while longer to see if the other bands would be any different. Unfortunately, they weren't. They were even more hardcore than the first band. Kimberley felt like she was in a warzone, and her body couldn't take it anymore. She looked around and noticed that everyone was wearing black and she was the only person that was wearing white. She took that as a sign .... She left the event after only 30 minutes. As she walked out of the venue, she couldn't help but laugh (and cry) at herself for not researching the type of music that would be played at the event before buying the tickets. She realized that she had made a mistake and learned a valuable lesson. From that day forward, Kimberley makes sure she watches a few youtubes about the events and the artists before purchasing tickets to any musical event or show. She certainly doesn't want to find herself in another situation like the Heavy Psych Fest at the High Desert Cultural Center and be the only person who didn't "get the memo" !

Along with Copper Mountain College when it started, years ago. I should have reviewed it sooner, myself. Anyway...we have been to two performances. Both were top-notch and surprisingly well done! Surprising, because of the modest ticket prices. It is well attended and a lot if fun. Highly recommended by me. A little champagne before the shows start. Everything is right here! Reasonable, and close to home. Get out, get some tickets, and partake in what little culture there is out here in the beautiful desert. We are fortunate to have a gem like this and it deserves our support. Community support. Attendance, and $$, is what it takes to keep the lights on!!! And, you don't need to get out your theater attire. The dress is casual!
