2026 Summer Staged Reading Series

Beginning June 14 and through August 23, we’ll bring you 6 evenings of entertainment with readings of brand-new original works by budding playwrights at the Napa Valley Education Foundation in Napa (530 3rd St)

Out of hundreds of submissions, we have chosen 12 delightful brand-new plays. We look forward to bringing you these gems!

Performance Dates are:
June 14th, June 28th, July 12th, July 26th, August 9th, and August 23nd, all at 4 pm.

What’s a staged reading? It’s a rehearsed performance of a script—complete with actors, movement, and emotion—but without full sets or costumes. It’s a vital step for playwrights, giving them the chance to see their words come alive.
But the most important part? You. After each reading, we’ll hold a brief talk-back, and that’s where your voice matters. Join us in person, experience these living plays, and help shape what they become next!
