About
This summer, 6th Street Playhouse, Lucky Penny Productions, and homegrown talents Dezi Gallegos and Natalie Herman have teamed up to bring you the world premiere of YESTERDAY AGAIN. This brand-new drama by award-winning playwright Dezi Gallegos follows Eric Baxter and Bella Kadie over the course of 25 years. Playing with the idea that the past, present, and future all exist at the same time, the new play portrays Eric and Bella as children, teenagers, and adults—simultaneously. Poetic in its form and honest in its portrayals, this original theater piece promises a breathtaking form of storytelling; one where three distinct periods of life intersect, interweave, and in their interplay, probe at love’s relationship with time.
Directed by Sheri Lee Miller, the cast includes such esteemed North Bay artists as Executive Artistic Director Craig A. Miller and Co-Executive Director Barry Martin (of 6th Street Playhouse and Lucky Penny Productions, respectively) and features an extraordinarily talented ensemble ranging in age from 14 to late 50s. YESTERDAY AGAIN premieres at 6th Street Playhouse on July 24th and runs through August 2nd. It then moves to Lucky Penny Community Arts Center in Napa and runs August 7th – 16th.

About the Playwright
Dezi Gallegos was 14 when he co-wrote and assistant directed the award-winning (now published) Prop 8 Love Stories, which received performances throughout the Bay Area before traveling to New York for a two-week run Off-Broadway. At 16, he penned, directed, and co-starred in the uproarious comedy Quite Dead at Cinnabar Theater. At 18, his one-man-show God Fights the Plague received a 16-show run at The Marsh in San Francisco, and his play Hamlet’s Orphans was nominated for Best Original Script by the SF Bay Area Theater Critics Circle. 19-year-old Gallegos, now the recipient of the inaugural Annette Lust Award for “Promising Theatrical Talent,” studies film at the University of Southern California.

About the Play’s Co-Producers
Natalie Herman (currently 6th Street Playhouse’s Interim General Manager) and Dezi Gallegos met when they were 9 years old while enrolled in Cinnabar’s Young Repertory program. Their first show together was directed by Sheri Lee Miller. It couldn’t be more fitting that this play about time and change and love was born by a friendship that, over a decade after it began, has resisted the pulls and pressures of growing older. Their work has brought together two theater companies, fourteen actors, and, on July 24th, a world premiere...
