Mission San Juan Capistrano is pleased to partner with South Coast Repertory (SCR) for another summer of Outside the SCR, a world-class theatre experience under the stars.  Join us for our summer opener, The Old Man and The Old Moon, an epic adventure across land, sea and sky–all in the name of love.

Indie-folk music and ingenious staging transform this tall tale into a thrilling theatrical event like no other. The Old Man who keeps the moon filled with light wakes up one morning to find his wife has gone, lured away by a mysterious melody.  In his quest to find her, he encounters colorful characters, gets caught in an apocalyptic storm and is swallowed by a giant fish.  Can he find her before the moon runs out of light and the world plunges into darkness?

Recommendation: For swashbucklers and yarn-spinners ages 7 to 97.
