DYNAMIC LIVE SHOWS & SPECIAL EVENTS

Troupe Productions is pleased to announce they have signed a deal with the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs to produce provocative live entertainment shows and trend setting special events to be showcased at the resort.
“We’re excited about working with the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs to bring the “next generation” of live entertainment to the Coachella Valley,” says Jim Casey, Co-Owner, Troupe Productions. “I think we’re going to blow everyone’s mind with our imaginative, never before seen events and productions.”
