Our organization got its start as the "Friends of MiraCosta Theatre" in 1977. We incorporated in 1983 as a 501-c-3 "MiraCosta Theatre Arts Foundation". The name was changed to the "MiraCosta Theatre Spotlight Circle" in 2007, and in 2008 the Spotlight Circle merged as a subcommittee within the larger structure of the MiraCosta College Foundation.
We maintain our own separate and independent board of community members who appreciate the fine work done by the MiraCosta Theatre and who have a passion for supporting this terrific program.
Through all of the name changes and the merger, we continue to work toward the same Mission of our organization had when it was established back in 1977, which is three fold:
To Create Awareness,
Stimulate Community Involvement,
and Raise Funds
in support of the MiraCosta College Theatre Program and its students.
