About the 501(c)3 Performing Arts Organization: The Relevant Stage

The Relevant Stage is San Pedro’s Musical Theatre Company in residence
at Warner Grand Theatre since 2007.  Born in San Pedro, TRS has
produced many outstanding plays, multimedia productions and musicals
in their first few years in addition to film screenings and comedy
events.  TRS’ mission is to challenge hearts, engage minds and expose
truths through the performing arts.  TRS cultivates the arts in youth
by offering a 4-week, annual summer performing arts camp, called TRS
Youthorizons.

TRS has worked in partnership with many community organizations to
assist in producing ancillary Warner Grand Theatre events such as
Black Heritage, Super Service Saturday, Art Finding's Little Heart,
and the upcoming Chamber event, The Star Awards - to name a few.

From hard hitting dramatic plays like Acts of Desperation and Over
There/Over Here, large cast musicals like Urinetown The Musical, Bat
Boy The Musical, Singing Jailbirds The Musical, the critically
acclaimed yearly tradition: The Christmas Carol, to small cast
musicals and revues like The Last Five Years, I Love You, You’re
Perfect, Now Change and the upcoming Forever Plaid – TRS offers
variety and quality.

Combine this with other TRS programming like TRS Youthorizons, San
Pedro BrewHaHa, Warner On Wednesdays Summer Film Festival – and The
Relevant Stage brings more that 70 entertainment opportunities to
Warner Grand Theatre, each year.

TRS also performs at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton, CA
and will create an auxiliary season of events for that venue in 2011,
while continuing its main stage work here at its home, in San Pedro at
Warner Grand Theatre.  This outreach to Orange County provides
marketing exposure and audience attraction to downtown San Pedro.

Recently through partnerships with the County of Los Angeles, over 500
senior citizens from L.A. came to see I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now
Change, for free.

Still to come in 2010 from TRS is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels The Musical
in June, a staged reading of a brand new musical, The One and Only in
July, Forever Plaid in August, 6th Street Burlesque in September,
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in November, and The Christmas Carol
in December.  In February, 2011 TRS will bring to the stage Kiss Me Kate.
