Valley Players Presents Arnold Margolin’s The Other Wife on June 15

A Playful Exploration of Love, Loss, and the Lively Afterlife

Valley Players’ 2025 Summer Staged Reading Series continues on June 15 at 4 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Napa with The Other Wife by Arnold Margolin.

When Richard’s late first wife, Diana, suddenly appears in the apartment he now shares with his second wife, Kate, it sets off a surreal and hilarious weekend of reckoning. But Diana hasn’t returned to haunt them—she’s come to help. Or has she? Blending sharp humor with real emotional depth, the play offers a fresh twist on the classic ghost story. As the three navigate old memories, new insecurities, and unfinished business, The Other Wife becomes a smart and touching exploration of how we let go—and why it matters.

Directed by Megan Palagi, The Other Wife features the talents of local actors, Linda Howard, Jay Jacobson, Kelly Norris, and Patte Quinn.
