2016 PERFORMANCE SEASON AT THE MOONLIGHT AMPHITHEATRE

Welcome to the 2016 Season Dear Friends,

Steven Glaudini and Daniel Kays

We welcome you to the 2016 Season of Moonlight Stage Productions and Moonlight Presents. This year marks the first time in our history that the Moonlight Amphitheatre will become a year-round entertainment destination not only for our renowned season of Broadway musical theatre, but for other genres of the performing arts throughout the year under our new brand, Moonlight Presents.

BROADWAY’S BEST UNDER THE STARS The upcoming season of Moonlight Stage Productions is one of the most exciting in our 36-year history. We are producing three Broadway regional premieres: Sister Act, Titanic The Musical, and The Addams Family. You can also look forward to our revival of the high-flying family musical Peter Pan which has not been seen on our stage in 20 years. Consider becoming a Season Subscriber to save up to 25% off over single tickets. That’s like getting one show for free!

“Moonlight Amphitheatre is arguably the leading cultural treasure of North County.

Located in Vista’s Brengle Terrace Park, the venue provides an idyllic location for enjoying the outdoors while watching high quality performances...both the venue and the company provided the kind of experience a cultural treasure should provide.”

- San Diego Story

A NEW ERA FOR THE MOONLIGHT We are thrilled to introduce our first season of Moonlight Presents, our new performing arts program offering concerts through the Moonlight Live! series, and family friendly entertainment on the Moonlight Variety series. We have two discount ticket packages for you: the Three Star (order at least three shows from either series to receive a 10% discount,) and the Five Star (order at least five shows to receive a 15% discount).

For 35 years, alongside our fundraising partner, the Moonlight Cultural Foundation and their fundraising events throughout the year, we have entertained more than one million people from throughout the region and beyond. The Moonlight Amphitheatre is one of the most beautiful outdoor theatres you’ll experience and it’s located close to where you live. We look forward to welcoming you through the gates this year to experience many wonderful nights under the stars at the Moonlight.

Sincerely, Steven Glaudini Daniel J. Kays Producing Artistic Director Managing Director Producer, Moonlight Presents

From the Foundation Dear Friends, We hear it all the time - “I love the Moonlight.” “I’m a donor.” “I’m a subscriber.” We understand.

Thank you to our generous sponsors

Muriel & Hans Schiff

At Moonlight Cultural Foundation, we believe that theatre is for everyone, and that it does not begin and end with the rise and fall of the curtain. Therefore we strive Toria Watson Jane Mitchell to make our work accessible to as wide an audience as possible, deepening our connection with you and positioning the Moonlight Amphitheatre as a popular destination.

The performing arts are more than entertainment. The arts have a sense of magic about them, a unique ability to allow us to connect with our emotions.

Whether transferred through a dancer’s movement, an actor’s raw passion, or a song’s touching lyric, the arts have the ability to soothe our souls, move us to joyful tears and make our spirits soar.

The Moonlight Cultural Foundation takes great pride in partnering with the City of Vista in support of its cultural arts programs, Moonlight Stage Productions and Moonlight Presents. We toast the Moonlight Amphitheatre as a community gathering place where people come to celebrate, escape, enjoy and heal. This support is essential to our mission and ultimately why we are here - to spread joy, warmth and inspiration to our patrons through the power of live theatre and the performing arts.

By making spirits soar, we help our community shine, and we do that by supporting quality live theatre and the performing arts, providing partnership opportunities, and preparing our youth with artistically innovative education programs.

We hope you realize the tremendous impact your generosity has had in our community. Thank you for being part of the Moonlight Cultural Foundation mission and for helping to make spirits soar all season long.

We appreciate you!

Chris Mann & Shoshana Bean In Concert

Chris Mann: Golden

Mann rose to fame as Christina Aguilera’s finalist on NBC’s The Voice. Since then, his debut album, Roads, hit #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart, he starred in his own PBS television special: A Mann For All Seasons and is currently starring as The Phantom in The Spectacular New Production of The Phantom of the Opera National Broadway Tour.

Critics hail Mann as “a bona fide breakout star” and “the best “Phantom of the Opera” since Michael Crawford!”

Enjoy an evening of beloved hits and new favorites for one night only at the Moonlight!

New, up and coming Shoshana Bean is magnificent and stirring, always original, heartfelt, and quite funny when needed.

See her at Moonlight and you will be able to say you saw her when . . .

Over the years, Broadway star and recording artist Shoshana Bean has become synonymous with the word “soulful”. Bean is best known for her roles in the Broadway smash hits Wicked and Hairspray, and a stellar performance alongside Brian McKnight on the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. But since the release of her debut solo album, Superhero, it is said that Bean can match Barbra Streisand’s range and challenge Madonna’s style – and this is just the beginning of her career!

Gates open at 7 PM. *VIP experience includes orchestra seat, VIP parking pass, post-show backstage meet & greet, champagne & desserts!
