Lucky Penny Productions - Lucky Shorts

Short stories brought to life!

Please join us in celebrating the work of our writing colleagues in an exciting premier Napa Lucky Penny Productions event.

In its first event celebrating the short story, Lucky Penny received over three dozen submissions from writers in Solano, Sonoma, and Napa counties. A panel selected eleven representative stories to be dramatically read by actors in front of a live audience on Sunday June 12 at 2 PM. From Dan Monez, producer of the event and Lucky Penny’s Vice President: “The short story is one of the most difficult and interesting genres to master. In just a few pages, the author has to create a complete story with characters the reader can see, hear, and feel. The live audience will have the added experience of having trained actors perform each story and bring them to life!”

Readings include:
“Sub”, by Jan Flynn, St. Helena
“Spare the Rod”, by Cristina Goulart, Santa Rosa
“Don’t Get Me Wrong”, by Patsy Ann Taylor, Napa (NVW)
“Into the Box” and “Hurtling Jade”, by Jean Wong, Kenwood
“The Boat Ride”, by Henry Michalski, Napa
