About

The AVO Playhouse
is available for rentals year-round and is an ideal venue for any type of event from
corporate meetings or lectures, to full production Broadway musicals. The AVO is
a fully equipped performance venue (lighting and sound systems) with a 382 seat
auditorium, an elevated stage, and back stage dressing rooms with restrooms. The AVO
also features a concession bar and large restrooms in the lobby.
 
Built
in 1948 as a neighborhood movie house, the AVO Playhouse was purchased by the City of
Vista and elegantly restored to accommodate live performances in 1995. Annually, over
forty thousand people are entertained at the AVO. Several dance companies and
children's theatre organizations grace the stage regularly as does Moonlight at the
Avo, a winter season of plays and musicals produced by Moonlight Stage
Productions. The AVO is also a community service facility hosting city-sponsored
gatherings, social service organization meetings, and school graduations.
 
Rental rates are affordable and available on an hourly basis. All
rentals include a facilities supervisor and access to all of the available equipment and
theatrical spaces. Additional technical staff, ticketing services and event insurance is
also available through the City of Vista’s Cultural Arts Department.
