Moonlight Amphitheatre Announces May Events

Following recently provided state guidelines for outdoor live events, the Moonlight Amphitheatre is pleased to welcome back patrons with May programming featuring movie nights and concerts. Tickets to these events will go on sale on Mon., April 5 at noon. The Moonlight will follow health and safety protocols, including limiting audience capacity based on the state's guidance and designated tiers, socially distanced seating, and hand sanitizing stations positioned throughout the theatre.

The Moonlight has not offered in-person entertainment since October 2020, when it safely presented limited capacity film nights. Before this, the theatre's 40th anniversary five-show summer season of Moonlight Stage Productions was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, Moonlight leadership is excited to announce that it will celebrate its 40th Anniversary season with musical theatre offerings this summer. Shows, dates, ticket packages, and single ticket information will be announced soon.

"We are excited to receive these long-awaited guidelines and look forward to reopening the theatre in May," said Managing Director Colleen Kollar Smith. "Our May lineup of concerts and movie nights is just the beginning of our reopening plan. We are at work planning a summer of musicals that meet health and safety regulations to create a safe and healthy environment, not just for our patrons, but for our artists and staff as well."

Due to state guidelines, only California residents may attend this event. By purchasing a set of tickets together, you are guaranteeing that the members of your party are California residents from the same household.
