History of Moonlight Stage Productions

Watching talented actors inhabit the world of the stage; sharing picnics on the grass and family gatherings under the stars; hearing glorious music on soft summer evenings; introducing your children to the wonders of live theater; meeting "summer friends" year after year in the magnificent natural setting of the Amphitheatre; and eagerly applauding every performance...These are memories to celebrate!

Winter 2009/2010

The 2009/10 winter season at the AVO Playhouse was one of the most successful in the theatre's history in terms of attendance and critical acclaim. Three productions were presented: The Foreigner, Swingtime Canteen and Ring Round the Moon. The production of Ring Round the Moon was supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and included engagement activities for students.

Summer 2009

The Moonlight Amphitheatre's 2009 Summer Season was a resounding success on numerous levels. Our new Stage House opened on June 27, 2009 with a gala featuring Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell. From July through September, the Moonlight presented a summer season that sparkled with new-found technical brilliance thanks to the state-of-the-art capabilities the new venue offers. From the curtain-raising tapping feet of 42nd Street, the dazzling flying effects in Phantom, to the spectacular finale of the journey to the Heaviside Layer in Cats, the summer season delighted the largest audiences in Moonlight's history.

Winter 2008/2009

As construction continues on the new Stage House, Moonlight Stage Productions continues with delightful productions of Driving Miss Daisy, Pump Boys & Dinettes, and Moon Over Buffalo.

Summer 2008

This year marks the start of a new era for Moonlight Stage Prodcution. Construction of the new Moonlight Stage House will start at the end of the season and we eagerly anticipate future days on the construction site.

The summer season shows are Guys & Dolls, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat , and Southern California's Regional Premiere of Les Misérables .

Winter 2007/2008

Winter at the Avo comes alive with productions of The Magic Fire, Route 66, and You Never Can Tell .

Summer 2007

This year is a time of looking forward. Planning has started for construction of the new Moonlight Stage House, so it is a very exciting time in the history of the Moonlight. We look forward to seeing this dream come true in Jun 2009.

The shows on tap for this summer are Annie Get Your Gun, Me and My Girl, West Side Story, and Little Shop of Horrors.
