Moonlight staff does a fantastic job with an outdoor stage and the ticket prices are less than at the Arts Center in Escondido. Bring a blanket & jacket though, it can get pretty chilly. The parking area is bumpy & not well lit; as a senior I worry about falling.

Love the plays they put on at the Moonlight. It's such a fun place to go for a good evening of entertainment.

This is a great venue with quality acts. It is clean, has great food services, or you can bring your own food/drinks. Plan ahead - be ready to park and shuttle in. The lawn seating is first come, first serve but it is a nice way to spend a day/evening. Pack a gourmet picnic and lawn chairs and just chill... More

If the weather is good, this is always a great setting for a muscial play which typically never disappoints. Forget the seats and opt to sit on the lawn, they give you lawn chairs so no one can bring in high backed chairs. You can also bring your own blanket. Always great staging on a modern stage with good lighting... More

Just back from seeing a production of Life Could be a Dream at AVO playhouse in Vista CA. Great show, with extraordinary talent in a sweet playhouse. If you live in the area or are passing through this is a gem of an event. If you attend a matinee you can catch the Coaster from downtown San Diego. Enjoy!

The plays are A+ as good as any I have seen at premier playhouses including the Civic Center in downtown San Diego. Sit outside under the stars enjoy a glass of wine and watch great plays.

We got the subscription last summer and saw four great musicals! The quality of the performances is excellent. We love to go early and picnic before the show.

The Theater is run by the City of Vista. The shows are good enough. A pleasant evening. Down the road from the theater they give traffic tickets taken by cameras. Our driver got a ticket. Over 600.00. It ruined our whole night in Vista. If the City of Vista wants you to support their art programs they should take down... More

Get there early, 30 or 45 min before the gates open. Bring your food, blankets, wine and have a picnic. They provide low chairs. The entertainment has always been great.

Wonderful performance of Anything Goes. Have seen shows here many times and all of them are top notch. Definately worth the money.
