“We look forward to welcoming back some of our most celebrated artists who began their theatrical journey on the Moonlightstage and are now working professionals on Broadway, in regional theatre, and across the globe” said Managing Director Colleen Kollar Smith. “Eric Kunze and Gina Feliccia were our first actors who went to Broadway in the 90s and having them back is a special way to kick-off our 40th anniversary. Jacob Haren also worked his way up the Moonlight ranks starting in our youth theatre and is now starring in “The Book of Mormon” on Broadway. Amongst our Moonlight favorites performing at ClubM is Bets Malone another of our success stories who originated the role Suzy Simpson in “The Marvelous Wonderettes.” We close the ClubM season with a San Diego favorite who starred in “Victor/Victoria” last summer, the Broadway veteran Allison Spratt Pearce. We’re going tohave a lot of fun producing these cabarets and letting our audience get to know some of their favorite Moonlight artists in an intimate setting.”
