Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Avo Playhouse and Moonlight’s 18th Winter Season! It’s always a joy to re-inhabit
this intimate playhouse, completely refurbished by the City of Vista from its historic 1948 movie
theater origins. We are pleased to offer our patrons this season a robustly engaging selection of shows:
November’s production was the intriguing play filled with music and laughter: THE MAGIC FIRE, a story
about a multicultural family in Buenos Aires during the last days of Peron. In January, we enjoyed the
hit musical revue, ROUTE 66, starring four Texaco gas station jockeys who whisked us down memory
lane with songs for the road. March brings us to the salty English seacoast of George Bernard Shaw’s
YOU NEVER CAN TELL, a sparkling heart-tugging romantic comedy that entertains with wit and
wisdom.
We owe a world of thanks to the Moonlight Cultural Foundation Board and our Moonlight Angels’
Auxiliary Board and membership, who have created a fund-raising partnership with the City of Vista.
These boards represent deeply committed, dedicated volunteers who work on behalf of Moonlight.
We are extremely grateful to our generous Corporate Sponsors and Patrons, who make a profound
contribution to this theatre and we’re delighted that you’ve chosen to engage your mind, heart and
senses in the live theatre experience here at the Avo Playhouse! Enjoy the Season…Welcome!
