LOS ANGELES — Adam Levine has an uneasy feeling about the world. That slight angst is audible throughout Maroon 5’s sophomore album “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.”

Last weekend’s two-day final show at the Oxbow School in Napa provided a tantalizing sample of what gifted teenagers are capable of creating at the end of their Oxbow semester.

It was a last minute invitation, but well worth juggling lunch dates to watch a Vintage High School production of “The Laramie Project,” last week. Amanda Bennett directed the performance as part of her senior thesis, which, she explained, was a study of attitudes toward homosexuality.

On Saturday at the Napa Valley Opera House the Moscow Cats Theatre was in town and the show featured 35 housecats, five clowns, a ballerina and one dog to complete the cast.

On Saturday evening l6 Trinity Prep student thespians performed a feat of magic. In their Theatre Under the Stars these talented young men and women brought “Cheaper By the Dozen” back to life.

“Napa is not known as an arts mecca. If the arts had the respected allure that wine and food does here, being a Napa artist would have more meaning. It’s a great place to live and work, but the art world doesn’t perceive Napa as supporting a thriving artists community.”

Sunday afternoon at Yountville’s Lincoln Theater, we Napans were treated to a performance of “Cats,” directed and choreographed by Richard Stafford and featuring 29 talented dancers and singers bringing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic to life for the 25th anniversary Broadway tour.

Whether singing "Papa was a Rolling Stone," "Under the Boardwalk," "Dance with Me," or even about chocolate or coffee, an appreciative crowd ate up anything Rockapella dished out this weekend in two packed shows at Napa's Opera House.
