About MB Stage
Seeing something on screen is one thing. Seeing it live? Game over.
“…beautiful, evocative and challenging work. Let that soak in for a minute… Nerds gone DEEP!”
MB Stage Productions has been part of the Los Angeles theater scene since 2013. Their company motto is “Seeing something on screen is one thing. Seeing it live? Game over.” They actively seek to tell stories with a “nerd aesthetic” inspired largely by video game culture and the vision of founders Jared Tyrel Pixler, David Evan Stolworthy and Katie Lynn who attended AMDA College and Conservatory of the Performing arts together. In 2015 the company found success in their production of THE VIDEO GAMES which ran for three years, won several awards, toured comic conventions, fringe festivals nationwide, and ran Off-Broadway for seven months. MB Stage Productions believes there is nothing more powerful than an intimate and live performance to take you away to another world. They currently run two different theater programs: Nerds Gone Deep, which focuses on powerful and thought-provoking plays, dance pieces, and musicals; and Nerd Theatre, which is centered around geek and nerd culture, interactive storylines, and non-traditional theatrical boundaries. In 2018, the company took over operation of a summer arts camp in Torrance, CA and began working with other parts of the community to bring theatre and the arts to young artists. mbstage.com
