Overview

Mission

Mo'olelo is a socially-conscious, community-focused Equity theater company that uses live theater to broaden the scope of San Diego's cultural environment, provide a voice for diverse and underrepresented populations, and generate dialogue among local communities.

What it reported doing in 2016

Mo'olelo Performing Arts Company used this reporting period to identify a partnership with Playwrights Project, a San Diego, CA Sec. 501(c)3 tax exempt organization with a similar mission. Mo'olelo's trustees voted to dissolve Mo'olelo and transfer its assets to Playwrights Project, with the specific goal of ensuring the longevity of the organizations' similar missions.
