Mission Statement
The Moonlight Cultural Foundation is a non-profit organization of passionate volunteers dedicated to sharing, supporting and enhancing the theatrical experience in San Diego North County.

History of the Moonlight Cultural Foundation
Moonlight Cultural Foundation, a non-profit organization, was formed in 1974 under the leadership of Frank Tiesen with the mission of working together with citizens in the community to assure a pleasant and rewarding future for the community. Its first official role was as custodian of funds for the construction of an amphitheatre in Brengle Terrace Park in 1975, as a bicentennial gift to the city. It was dedicated on July 4, 1976. The Foundation has continued to assist with the development of the Moonlight Amphitheatre and in 2010 paid for the state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment at the newly renovated Amphitheatre.

Moonlight Angels Auxiliary
In 1992, Moonlight Cultural Foundation welcomed the Moonlight Angels Auxiliary as an affiliated group. The Angels provide MCF with a core group of dedicated individuals whose primary goal is fund-raising and volunteerism. This great group of volunteers offers a variety of fun activities including Bunco game nights, military appreciation meals, theatre outings and a very special annual luncheon.

Encore Youth Theatre
In 1993, Encore Youth Theatre became an affiliated group of the Foundation. Encore provides quality theatre arts education to youth. Encore offers a variety of learning opportunities with preparatory workshops, a holiday show choir and fully staged musical productions.
