Meet Our Founder
A lifetime on stages around the world... now dedicated to building one here in Napa Valley.
After performing at Carnegie Hall, the BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall, the San Francisco Opera, and leading theatres throughout the United States and Europe, Stephen Guggenheim returned to his passion for building community through the performing arts by founding Napa Valley Stage.
His vision is clear:
To create Napa Valley's resident professional theatre company—one that produces extraordinary performances, nurtures artists, and becomes a cultural home for the community.
✦ 2027-2028 Season ✦

A New Stage Begins.
The curtain is about to rise on Napa Valley's resident professional theatre company.
"We invite you to be part of history as Napa Valley Stage launches its inaugural season—bringing world-class artists, unforgettable storytelling, and extraordinary theatrical experiences to the heart of Napa Valley."

Every great theatre begins with a single performance. Every great legacy begins with a community.
