The season will erupt with a fanfare as Transcendence launches its “Best Life Ever” theme through an exhilarating first production: Broadway’s Best Night Ever. Running from June 12-15 and June 19-22, this performance is designed to encapsulate and celebrate the spectacular legacy of the past 14 seasons.

“Our 2025 season encapsulates a vibrant celebration—of resilience, joy, strength, and the unparalleled magic that only live theater can conjure,” expressed Tony Gonzalez, the artistic director, with palpable enthusiasm. “This intricate blend of narratives is not merely for entertainment; it’s our hope to inspire audiences to embrace their own ‘best life ever’, long after the final curtain descends.”
As the sun dips low, the atmosphere will crackle with excitement starting at 5 p.m. on performance days. Guests can indulge in a uniquely crafted Sonoma-style picnic, basking in local flavors while savoring live music and the company of friends on the iconic Field of Dreams lawn. Enthusiastic attendees eagerly await additional announcements detailing the culinary delights provided by local vendors for this season.
“The pre-show picnic stands as a celebration unto itself,” remarked Amy Miller, the creative vision director, with zest. “It’s the initial step into the Transcendence experience. As guests sip on Sonoma’s finest wines and relish local cuisine, the harmonies of live music weave through the air, set against a canvas of breathtaking sunset views. As we mark the opening of our 14th season, it feels like we’re striking a perfect chord. 2025 promises to be our most magnificent yet, intertwining Broadway’s allure with the charm of Wine Country. From picnic to performance—this is an unforgettable tribute to life, art, and the unparalleled beauty surrounding us.”
