Founded by women committed to elevating underrepresented artists in theater, Valley Players is a collaborative, inclusive home for outstanding live performances that inspire and entertain while enriching the cultural landscape.
Our Values
Theater for All
We believe that live theater should be accessible to everyone—whether as an audience member, performer, or collaborator. This means producing stories that reflect a wide range of lived experiences, keeping ticket prices within reach, performing in welcoming spaces, and reducing barriers to participation.
Artistic Excellence
We strive to create work that is both daring and carefully crafted. For us, excellence is not about prestige or perfection, but about rigor, integrity, and the joy of discovery. We honor both the process and the product, holding ourselves accountable to high standards while encouraging experimentation and risk-taking.
Community Engagement
Theater lives in dialogue with its audience. We commit to being a responsive and reciprocal presence in the community—collaborating with local organizations, offering educational programs, and ensuring that our productions spark meaningful conversations.
Respect and Compassion (Theater as a Safe Space)
We recognize that the rehearsal room and the stage must be spaces where everyone feels valued and protected. Respect for colleagues, compassion for differing experiences, and a culture of consent and care are foundational to the work we create together.
Individual Development
We view theater as a place where people grow—not only as artists, but also as human beings. Whether someone is taking their first step onto the stage or refining a decades-long craft, we are committed to fostering learning, mentorship, and opportunities for self-expression.
It is our joy to bring live theater to the Napa Valley community.
