I fell in love with the musical productions at the Moonlight Amphitheatre 12 years ago and first became a patron and later a board member. There have been many amazing Broadway quality productions throughout all those years. and it continues. Just when you think it can't get better, it does! It has been a fabulous venue to introduce my grandchildren to musical theatre and for a while my granddaughter was involved with the Youth Theatre.
Then is my 7th year to serve on the board. This Foundation was very instrumental in raising funds for sound and lighting in a capital campaign for the new beautiful stage house. The board is very active in raising funds to offset the salary of equity actors which enables the production company to hire some of the best of the best in the industry. And more importantly we raise funds to donate tickets to our military families, Boys and Girls clubs in north county and other youth groups. For many of these families and youths, it is their first experience and introduction to live theatre and many of them will fall in love and be in love with live theatre for the rest of their lives; as I did as a young girl after attending my first Broadway show.
The Foundation assists in providing Live Theatre experiences to many in our community, both our seniors and youth alike
I have attended this amazing theater for 18 years and every year the programs and performances get better and better, The venue is amazing and the hundreds of dedicated volunteers and many impressive professionals make this one of the best amphitheater experiences in the United States. Also, the accountability for all donations is unrivaled. There is also a good dinner venue on the grounds. Outstanding musical theater at reasonable prices. An excellent venue for all ages.
The Moonlight not only provides Broadway-quality productions on stage at reasonable prices but operates a youth theatre giving meaningful opportunities to our young citizens.
I'm proud to tell people I serve on the Moonlight Cultural Foundation Board! Arts are so important to our community. It's nice to be a part of something so rewarding and meaningful.
