Friday at 8 PM; Saturday at 2 PM and 8 PM; Sunday at 2 PM SPECIAL PRICING: $15 for adults; $10 for Students! Call 707-255-LIVE (5483) for reservations. Where does violence come from?

Join Napa’s own Alex Lydon and his Thrift Shop Theater for their flagship production as they attempt to bring a new kind of theater to the Napa Valley. Come immerse yourself in a world inspired by the Corporeal Mime Technique of Etienne Decroux, which focuses the actor's whole body into an expressive vehicle of thought and emotion.

Announcing Our 2010 Season |
|
On the Main Stage: Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig
A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
“One of two great farces by a living writer.” —The New York Times
“A furiously-paced comedy with more than a touch of the Marx brothers… A marvelous combination of wonderfully farcical moments and funny lines.” —Time Out January 8 - 24
Dinner With Friends by Donald Margulies
Full of humor, warmth, insight and wisdom, Dinner With Friends is a funny yet bittersweet examination of the married lives of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years. Margulies keeps changing the perspective to show how one couple’s breakup can have an equally devastating effect on another’s stability.
“Dinner With Friends is entertaiment as succulent as it is sobering.” —New York Magazine April 2 - 18
Deathtrap by Ira Levin
Filled with startling twists, turns and reversals, the characters of Deathtrap struggle with greed, plagiarism, blackmail and murder. The play will shock and delight by the playwright’s clever dramatic manipulations.
“Two-thirds a thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy… Suspend your disbelief and be delighted. Scream a little. It’s good for you.” —Cue Magazine June 11 - 27
Hay Fever by Noel Coward
The Bliss family is ultra Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist. The daughter and son are handsome and ill mannered. When each invites a guest for the weekend, the family amuses themselves in their normal eccentric manner, much to the consternation of the bewildered guests!
“An evening of intoxicating escape” —N.Y. Times
“Light, luminous, charming... and hilariously funny.” —N.Y. Post September 10- 26
A Nice Family Gathering by Phil Olson
A Nice Family Gathering is a story about a man who loved his wife so much, he almost told her. It’s Thanksgiving—the first family gathering since the Patriarch died. Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission; to tell his wife he loved her, something he neglected to tell her during their 41 years of marriage. Mom can’t hear or see him but the trouble really begins when her dinner date arrives!
“Hilarious and touching!” —LA Weekly Pick of the Week November 5 - 21
And in the Black Box:
The Diaries of Adam & Eve Adapted by David Birney from Adam's Diary and Diary for Eve by Mark Twain
May 13 - 23 Durang/Durang by Christopher Durang
