History
Lucky Penny Productions was founded as a business entity by Taylor Bartolucci and Barry Martin in 2009. We produced our first show on a $400 budget. People liked it, so we kept on producing shows as a gypsy theatre company, moving from venue to venue. In late 2011, we decided it was time to go big or go home, so we reorganized as a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization. Since the start, Lucky Penny has been producing professional quality live theatre in and around Napa Valley, including plays, musicals, and custom entertainment programs. We also MC events, produce videos, teach classes and collaborate with other non-profits in the community. Now in our sixth year, we have opened the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center to provide an affordable and accessible place for the learning, practice and presentation of performing and visual arts.
Specialties
As Napa Valley's Premier Theatre Company, Lucky Penny Productions creates, develops and presents professional quality theatre at the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center. In addition to our fully-staged plays and musicals, we present cabaret shows, comedy shows, singer-songwriters, stage readings, art shows, one-person theatre and just about everything you can imagine. The Center is available for rental, too, for meetings, presentations, and private events.
