UpStage Napa Valley presents the world premiere of Hold Out Hope by award-winning playwright Susan Lily Jackson at Grace Episcopal Church in St. Helena. The drama follows longtime sorority sisters reuniting at a Virgin River campground to reflect on their changing lives. Written specifically for UpStage, the play was inspired by Jackson’s experience with their 2023 Play Fest production of A Razing in Missouri.

Performances run Feb. 22 to March 9, with Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.. After each performance, actors and the director will hold an open discussion. For more information, email info@upstagenapavalley.org or juliemitchell262@comcast.net.
