MOXIE Theatre

This theater is filled with life and excitement and makes you so happy to have a want for the Arts. Wonderfully constructed easy to move about and the and the quality of the actors and how they give an incredible nod to the feminist community put this in the top of the top of the top of theaters I have ever been to I will be forever grateful for my time spent at the Moxie theater.

Moxie Theatre is one of the most important theaters here in SD! They put on plays that are mostly written by women, and they are striving to challenge stereotypes as to what people assume female playwrights write about. Moxie is a theatre where women’s voices are being heard and female playwrights are gaining the opportunity to have a platform to present their work. Social change at its finest!
As well as having a wonderful mission, Moxie Theatre is also intimate, cozy, and easy to find. Whether it is for a date night, a fun evening with friends, or a chance to see a play on your own, Moxie is the place to go. You will leave with an open mind, full of questions about the issues raised, and ultimately wanting to come back for more. «A Discourse…» is just finishing up (which was amazing), but the next play ENRON, looks fantastic. Moxie Theatre all the way :)

Wow, every single play I’ve seen at Moxie this year has been fantastic. It may be a little out of the way, but the theater is simple to get to, the parking is free and it’s a great little theater space — not to mention the price of tickets are really affordable, especially for the quality of acting. What continues to impress me is the choice of plays (always thought provoking and poignant), the directing, the level of acting and the set design. I just saw Jade Heart, and it was incredibly good — once again! I now bring a different friend each time to introduce more people to this hidden gem.

Such a cute theater and fantastic staff. No bad seats here.

Quaint theater, excellent productions. Enjoyed Mudd Blue Sky for mommy day. Well written play by Marissa Wegrzyn. Very funny and enjoyable.

I’m glad I looked this place up on google maps before I headed over, otherwise I might’ve driven right by the strip mall where this theatre is located.
Crumbs From The Table of Joy is the play that drew me to the theatre last week. I was quite impressed by the quality of acting, especially considering the youth of some of the actors. The theatre was intimate, but without assigned seating, so arriving early might be a good idea. The refreshment stand was small, but very affordable.
Overall, I would recommend this theatre if they have a show in which you are interested.

I went to this tiny but cozy theater for a musical, which was great! The band was awesome, as well as the leading actress. Highly recommend!

This is my new favorite place to see a play. community feel but very professional acting and a great atmosphere. I’ve seen the last 5 plays they’ve done and all have been excellent. highly recommended.

I passed this place three times before I finally found it tucked away in what looked like a neighborhood strip mall. Dang navigation kept telling me it was 500 ft on the right, but I didn’t see a theatre. Guess I was expecting to see a building similar in structure to the Orange County Performing Arts Center where I’ve attended for countless theatre performances. Well, this is definitely far from that. It’s a small quaint theatre; only big enough to handle a handful of people.
I was rather impressed with my overall experience. They could’ve opted for better theatre food then Skittles, but I’ll give Moxie a pass given that there was no intermission and I wasn’t there for the concessions.
I saw Toni Morrison’s «Bluest Eye» and it was very good. It was 90 minutes of pure captivation.
I will definitely return for another theatre production.

I drive all the way from Vista, passing the moonlight theatre on the way.
I like theater to be thought provoking, engaging and intimate. The Women who started this group have a great vision and primarily produce women playwrights.
This doesn’t mean that they leave men out, in fact they have embraced some of San Diego’s best Actors, like Mark Christopher Lawrence who just won Best Actor of the year! Mark was in «A Raisin in the Sun», which is the only play I haven’t seen!
Dang!
Moxie, please bring it back!
Going to see «The Bluest Eye» this Thursday, can’t wait!
Also…
~A well deserved round of applause to the ensemble, designers and crew of of «A Raisin in the Sun» which won awards from the San Diego Critics Circle for «Outstanding Ensemble» and «Outstanding Dramatic Production.»

The Bluest Eye was simply fabulous. If you’ve never seen a Moxie production, this is the one to see. Well scripted. Well directed and acted. End March 3^rd. Most shows are sold out.

this is a pretty good up and coming theatre

One of the cutest little theater I’ve been to. Even though it’s in the middle of no where, driving down the long and windy road (I-​8) was definitely worth it.
What I love about Moxie is that they’re a «non-​profit theatre, founded to create more diverse and honest images of women by promoting primarily female playwrights.»
We watched Hickory dickory tonight and I definitely recommend you guys buy tics NOW! I mean now because tomorrow is the last show. The play ends on Dec. 16^th at 2:00pm. Don’t miss this wonderful performance by Marisa Wegrzyn. You’ll definitely revise your bucketlist after the actors pull at your ‘heart strings’.
Want to save some money?
tics are only $ 12.50 with $ 4 for convenience fee.

I love, love, LOVE this theatre! You can’t beat it for the highest quality entertainment at completely affordable prices and an amazingly intimate setting.
The Moxies totally rock!
I adore this theatre so much that I volunteer there now… and I think you should too!

Went here last night to see Candye Kane do her musical life story in the ‘Toughest Girl Alive.’ She is one of my fave local blues performers. This girl has been through the ringer in life and presented it in fine form here at this not so small theater.
But Candye, you’re a champion of big girls, plus size girls and guys, you preach love your bodies, and size acceptance. But have you ever sat in one of these seats at this women run theater?
I have lost a bit of weight the last couple of weeks, and if I had those lbs back on, I would not have fit in these seats! Wait, I STILL didn’t fit in these seats! It was terribly uncomfortable and I won’t be back until I lose some more!
I truly want to support this place and I understand they are trying to fit in as many seats as possible (about 160) but c’mon. It’s run by women. Women are absolutely more obsessed with their bodies then men are, so I find it hard to believe they they don’t have some seats for the big bootays.
They lost a star for that and for that only.

First time to this theater. I was very impressed, reminds me of the old Bowery Theater in San Diego that was known for excellence in an intimate setting.
Parking was easy. Getting tickets was easy. They have a small refreshment area with the usual stuff and some good cookies.
The play we saw was Ten Cent Night and it was very well done. Specially the performances all around. Great set. And the story is a bit of a ride with some bits of excellent writing that I did not expect. Nicely done.
I will be back to the Moxie. I am happy to have found it.

Just saw «Drink Me or The Case of Alice Times Three» with the Moxie Theater Company… they are in residency with the La Jolla Playhouse now and will be moving to the Rolando Theater near SDSU for their next show.
Anyhow, logistics aside, I enjoyed the play very much. It was an intimate setting at The Forum Studio Theater on the UCSD campus. The 7 actors did a great job! The play content was unexpected and it was funny, quirky, and oddly sensual… all at the same time. I enjoyed the minimalist, but effective use of color and props. The 3 witches in the play were PERFECT! The detective was sure and steady… on the mark! All the supporting actors also did a great job of weaving together a splendidly thought-​provoking tale. A+!
While the $ 25 Sunday matinée is more than I’d care to spend on a movie, say… it was money well spent on live theater, for sure. The $ 15 Thursday night show would have been a bit of a money saver, but… I couldn’t be sure I’d stay awake that late… seeing as I teach Kindergarten during the day… I need all the beauty sleep I can get, so I’m beautiful for my students each morning.
Oh, one more thing… they do have a season pass, of sorts. There are a few different prices, depending on the type of show you want to catch (Opening night, versus non-​opening nights, etc.) Those run about $ 125ish to $ 90 per person… for 6 shows, a good deal!
