Houses on the Moon General Fund
Houses on the Moon Theater Company exists to dispel ignorance and isolation through the public sharing of the untold story. Through creative workshops, original performances, and post-show discussions with community partners, we have helped thousands of audience members make meaningful connections. Without your support we could not give voice to the untold story and our mission would go unfulfilled. We hope you'll consider making a tax-deductible donation to Houses on the Moon Theater Company.
Mauricio Leyton Award and Fund
Background:
Mauricio Leyton was a Chilean born, talented actor and a beloved, committed member of Houses on the Moon. He was a natural leader and activist, dedicated to helping both individuals and communities grow and come together. He tragically passed away December 1st, 2013 of an aortic aneurysm. Following his unexpected death, we created this award and grant to honor his memory. The Leyton Award is granted annually to an individual or organization that champions the unheard voice through community service.
Mauricio believed in humanity. He believed people were inherently good and capable of change. He believed in the power of kindness and love. He lived joyfully. He always took the time to listen, reflect and respond. He saw and heard everyone. He looked at the world with open eyes and saw potential everywhere. He was a motivator. He was a champion of the unheard voice.

“What is a sanctuary? An oasis made by regular people.”
--Madame Carlota, HOTEL HAPPY
Following the tremendous run of Camilo Almonacid’s HOTEL HAPPY, Houses on the Moon is raising $25,000 for the completion of our 2024 season of programming!
Houses on the Moon is committed to bringing bold theatrical works like HOTEL HAPPY to life, and we’re excited to continue our 2024 Season with the following projects:
The Fall tour of Ian Eaton’s one-person show STEVE, and the development of two NEW Houses on the Moon projects: SKIN TO SKIN, created by Jeremy Kamps and Trixie Kioko, and THRIVE (Theater-making: Honoring Resilience In Various Experiences), a unique collaboration with the University of Rochester’s National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded TRANSFORM Center.
