Napa’s Lucky Penny Productions has announced their 2021/2022 season. Their seven-show season opens on September 10, 2021 and concludes on June 12, 2022. The season is music heavy with two Broadway musicals, one television musical adaptation, a “jukebox”‘ musical, and one play with music. An original short-play festival and a single “straight” play fill out the season.

Other than their season opener, no directors or casts have been announced for the shows.

All shows will be presented at the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center in Napa.
