1 2 WELCOME BACK TO THE MOONLIGHT!

Dear ,

We are so thrilled to welcome you back to The Moonlight and our first family show since 2019: Disney’s . As you are watching the show tonight, you will see many moving parts on stage: special effects, sets and scenery changes, stage lighting and numerous

(Left to right) Jennifer Bradford, other details that are performed on cue. Stanley D. Cohen, Steven Glaudini Many designers, crew members, and and Colleen Kollar Smith technicians contribute to make these intricacies come to fruition, but the individuals at the helm are the remarkable members of our stage management teams.

It is appropriate in the Year of the Stage Manager to celebrate these unsung heroes of the theatre. They are responsible for scheduling and running rehearsals. They serve as the liaison between the director and the rest of the creative team. From through the closing night, they ensure that the director’s vision of the show remains in place. Their most visible job function is to call the sound, lighting, scenery, and special effects cues in the dark from the back of the amphitheatre in the sound and lighting booth.

Tonight, all those elements are being overseen by Stanley D. Cohen, who we refer to as the “Rolls-Royce of Stage Managers.” Stanley has stage managed more than 70 productions at The Moonlight. But his involvement extends beyond his role as a stage manager. He is also one of our major donors through his family business, Atlantic & Pacific Management. At the Moonlight Cultural Foundation’s Ruby Gala in June, Stanley was honored with the 2021 Moonlight Ovation Award for his exceptional generosity, dedication, and vision on behalf of The Moonlight.

With sincere appreciation, we pay homage to Stanley and the rest of our stage managers for being the magicians who work their magic at The Moonlight.

Sincerely,

Colleen Kollar Smith Steven Glaudini Jennifer Bradford Executive Producer Producing Artistic Director Foundation Executive Director

(212) 221-1130 6 NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR When Beauty and the Beast opened in 1994, I was one of the first people to witness what would be the beginning of a long run of Disney successes on Broadway. It was a brilliant combination of a great story, an incredible score from Howard Ashman and , and a strong heroine for which the world was aching. It would be less than a year until both Bill Burns, our choreographer, and I would be part of the original . An adventure that spanned over the next three or four years, including the Palace Theatre on Broadway. This adapted version from Linda Wolverton (based on a tale as old as time) keeps the focus on the strength and Jamie Torcellini courage of our heroine. She created a character who is a positive role model for young girls. Belle is an avid reader, who is open to new ideas, and “she has a point of view of her life and that doesn’t necessarily involve a man getting her there.” Unlike Snow White, she isn’t waiting for a to save her. She takes control of her destiny by sacrificing her life for that of her father’s. A selfless and courageous action. While the curse that befalls this castle and all its inhabitants is punishment for failing to see past an ugly exterior, Belle shows us that beauty is found within. Everybody deserves love. Sometimes you must look deep, and you might just find your Prince in disguise. “Oh, isn’t this amazing? It’s my favorite part because you’ll see Here’s where she meets Prince Charming But she won’t discover that it’s him ’til chapter three!” Jamie Torcellini Jamie Torcellini (left) Jamie Torcellini with from the Director Los Angeles production

17 760.724.2110 | moonlightstage.com CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF Broadway's Best Under the Stars!

Oliver!, The Moonlight’s inaugural production. July 1981.

It began with a walk in the park…

On a breezy spring day in 1981, Kathy Brombacher took a walk in Brengle Terrace Park. Upon seeing a Kathy Brombacher, bare cement stage set against the Founding Artistic Director Emeritus backdrop of tall eucalyptus trees, she conceived the idea of summer musicals under the stars performed with live orchestras. Assembling a community of theatre makers, the “Vista Summer Theatre Festival” produced two musicals, Oliver! and The Boyfriend in 1981. From every year on, except for 2020, The Moonlight has produced 220 musicals and plays in the Amphitheatre and the AVO Playhouse in downtown Vista.

In our 40th anniversary summer season, we celebrate the gifts theatre bring, the great stories that unfold on our stage, the beauty of live music, and the people who make the magic happen.

Thank you for taking this journey with us. 18 HELP MAKE Magic AT THE MOONLIGHT with a gift to the Moonlight Cultural Foundation The Moonlight Cultural Foundation's mission is to build and engage community through transformative arts experiences by providing philanthropic support for Moonlight Stage Productions and Moonlight Youth Theatre’s arts education programs.
