Broadway Under the Stars

When the sun sets, the stars alight, and the show begins,

you’ll see why we call it the

Best Night Ever.  

Transcendence Theatre Company’s BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS is California Wine Country’s premiere live entertainment experience, thirteen years and counting. With original outdoor musical revues every summer, an indoor holiday show every winter, and more, our mission is to create extraordinary evenings featuring the best talents from Broadway and beyond.

Every season brings new shows. Every show hits new heights. Every person who joins us feels that singular sensation only possible from when music and movement lift us up beyond the everyday.  

 

To experience Transcendence is to experience the extraordinary.
