La Cage aux Folles RUN COMPLETE

Sept 5-21, 2025

The barrier-breaking musical "La Cage aux Folles" opened on Broadway in 1983 and went on to win six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. The show tells the story of Georges, the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag shows, and Albin, his romantic partner and star attraction. Madness ensues when George's son brings home his fiancée and her ultra-conservative parents to meet them. This musical was based on the original play from 1973, which was also the basis for the film "The Birdcage" in 1996.

Revenge of the Rebobs! A New Musical

Oct 17-Nov 2, 2025

It's Halloween, 1982, and something's brewing in the hills at the top of Partrick Road. When a skeptic comes to Napa Valley to find out the truth about the legendary Rebobs, he’s drawn into the local mystery – and when bodies start piling up it seems like the Rebobs are out for revenge. Along the way the skeptical researcher meets a nature girl, a weird trio, a wise yet creepy old man, and a guy who definitely peaked in high school. Who is the villain here? Are the Rebobs out for blood? Or are they being framed? "Revenge of the Rebobs!" is the latest collaboration between Composer/Lyricist Rob Broadhurst and Writer Barry Martin who created “The Real Housewives of Napa Valley,” and “A Napa Valley Christmas Carol.”

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Dec 5-Dec 21, 2025

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites. Soon, everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.

Peter and Alice

Jan 30-Feb 15, 2026

In 1932 there was a meeting between Alice Liddell Hargreaves, the inspiration for “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,” and Peter Llewellyn Davies, one of the boys who inspired “Peter Pan.” During their brief encounter, their sometimes-troubled real lives are revealed, as they struggle to be distinct from the fantasy characters they inspired. What motivated authors Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie to become so deeply involved in the lives of the real Peter and Alice in the first place? The Guardian called it a tale of “the agony and the ecstasy of inherited fame.”

Godspell

Mar 6-22, 2026

"Godspell" presents the timeless parables of Jesus in an entertaining way that has captivated audiences from its original production in 1971 through to today. Using an eclectic blend of theatrical styles and songs the messages of Jesus dance across the stage. "Godspell" was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz who went on to create Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden and more. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," "Godspell" features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."

Born Yesterday

April 10-26, 2026

Vulgar, self-centered junkman Harry Brock has come to Washington to make crooked deals with government big-wigs. He has brought with him the charming but dumb ex-chorus girl Billie, whose lack of social graces embarrasses even Harry. Harry hires a young, idealistic magazine reporter to educate Billie. When Billie learns what kind of man Harry really is she rebels against his bullying and precipitates a crisis that threatens to bring down his corrupt enterprise.

The Drowsy Chaperone

May 29-June 14, 2026

When a die-hard theatre fan plays his favorite cast album, the characters come to life in his New York apartment in this hilarious musical farce. In the show-within-the-show, we meet two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone – all the ingredients for a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical. “The Drowsy Chaperone” debuted in 1998 in Toronto and opened on Broadway in 2006 where it went in to win five Tony Awards.

Our History image
Lucky Penny Productions was founded in Napa in 2009. Our first performances took place in the depot of the Napa Valley Wine Train in May of that year. A few months later we began producing shows in the Napa Valley Opera House and at Dreamweavers/Napa Valley Playhouse.
