by Lanford Wilson On stage April 12-28, 2013 Directed by Michael Ross
Winner of both the 1980 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award as best play of the season. Part of a cycle of plays begun with Fifth of July, TALLEY'S FOLLY deals with the courtship of the young Sally Talley and her Jewish suitor, Matt Friedman.
"…Mr. Wilson is one of our most gifted playwrights, a dramatist who deals perceptively with definably American themes…he introduces us to two wonderful people, humanizing and warming them with the radiance of his abundant talent. TALLEY'S FOLLY is a play to savor and cheer." —NY Times.
"It is perhaps the simplest, the most lyrical play Wilson has written—a funny, sweet, touching and marvelously written and contrived love poem for an apple and an orange." —NY Post.

|
|
by David Lindsay-Abaire On stage July 12-28, 2013 A co-production with Lucky Penny Productions Directed by Taylor Bartolucci DeGuilio
Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband's sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It's a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water's edge. |

|
|
|
|
On stage December 6 - 22, 2013
"An 8 x 10 Holiday: A Festival of 10 Minute Plays" will be presented December 6-22, 2013, co-produced by Lucky Penny Productions and Napa Valley Playhouse. This second annual short play event will feature new, previously unproduced works with some connection in theme, character, plot or setting to the end of the year or holidays.
The plays in the program will be selected by a panel which will read "blind" copies of the scripts – they will not know the names of the authors – and all plays will have four or fewer characters and minimal sets, lighting and other technical needs to keep the focus on stories and characters. Each play selected by the reading panel will be assigned to a director who will cast and rehearse the play and prepare it for presentation.
The author whose play is voted by the audiences as the "People's Choice" will receive a $100 honorarium.
