New Theatre Company Docks in San Pedro - The Relevant Stage
Los Angeles, CA, June 25, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Relevant Stage (TRS) is the name of a new theatre company set to begin its first season in January 2008. The company will present plays, musicals, operas and other mixed media experiences to Los Angeles and surrounding area audiences.
TRS will perform in the beautifully restored 76-year-old Warner Grand Theatre located in San Pedro – the port town of Los Angeles. The theatre seats over 1500.
Founder, Artistic and Managing Director, Ray Buffer will direct 5 productions as part of TRS’ inaugural 2008 season. The season will consist of three plays, two musicals and even a documentary film.
Distinguishing TRS from other theatre companies is its mission: to produce works that pertain to current social issues.
Confirmed for 2008 is a pairing of a one act play and a documentary film. Rats & Bullies: The Dawn-Marie Wesley Story is the documentary film by Roberta McMillan and Ray Buffer that focuses on relational aggression among teen girls, and the ramifications of bullying and teen suicide. William Mastrosimone’s short play, Bang Bang You’re Dead addresses dramatically the issue of school shootings and violence.
Also in the season are two West Coast Premiere plays: Reinventing Eden by Seth Rozin and Over There/Over Here by Michael Reyes.
Reinventing Eden tells the story of a geneticist who many years earlier “corrected” a gene defect in his second child prior to birth, after his first son had been born a few years earlier with a syndrome characterized by mental disability. His act was unethical and illegal, and he now finds that he is being held accountable not only by the scientific community but also by the son that he “cured”.
Over There/Over Here shows the impact of the military experience on a young man who joined the military because his options were limited by poverty and then served in Iraq prior to the fall of Baghdad. It is a story of a man desiring to find meaning in sacrifice.
The two musicals have yet to be confirmed due to rights restrictions and will be announced along with the entire season in September, 2007.
Subscriptions and tickets will also go on sale in September, 2007.
Additional information is available through the company’s website, www.therelevantstage.com and through Warner Grand Theatre.
