PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING APPLICATIONS:
Upon receipt of completed applications for an Entertainment Permit, the Permit Administrator shall refer the application to the Chief of Police and Division Fire Chief for investigation, report and recommendation.
LEVEL I ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS: Decisions regarding applications for a Level I Entertainment Permit are made by the Permit Administrator. A public hearing is not required prior to a decision. At least five (5) days prior to issuing his/her decision regarding an application for a Level I Entertainment Permit, the premises upon which the entertainment activity is to occur shall be posted with a notice of the pending Entertainment Permit application. In approving a request for a Level I Entertainment Permit, the Permit Administrator may attach any conditions he/she deems appropriate to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community and the peaceful enjoyment of all adjacent properties.
The Permit Administrator may deny an application for a Level I Entertainment Permit if it is determined that the proposed entertainment may interfere with the quiet enjoyment of neighboring properties and that there are no conditions which may be attached to an approval of the permit which would adequately ameliorate these impacts. Additionally, the Permit Administrator may decline to process an application for a Level I Entertainment Permit.
Such permits shall be processed as a Level II Entertainment Permit.
APPEAL OF DECISIONS MADE BY PERMIT ADMINISTRATOR: The grant or denial of an Entertainment Permit by the Permit Administrator may be appealed to the City Manager or his/her designee. A written notice of appeal must be filed with the City Clerk within five (5) days of the date of the decision by the Permit Administrator. No notice of appeal will be deemed filed unless accompanied by the appropriate appeal fee. As soon thereafter as is reasonable possible, an administrative hearing on the appeal shall be held by the City Manager or his/her designee, pursuant to Section 10-
1.2506(f)(1-3), Title 10, Chapter 2 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code. The decision of the City Manager or his/her designee regarding the appeal shall be final.
The City Council may, by majority vote, prior to any hearing on an appeal, pre-empt the jurisdiction of the City Manager to hear the appeal and accept jurisdiction over the appeal. Such an action shall not be considered as a pre-disposition on the part of the Council majority to favor or disfavor the merits of the appeal, but a recognition that the subject matter of the appeal has sufficient importance to the community to justify the attention of governing body. Notice and hearing regarding an appeal before the City Council shall be as required by Section 10-2.2506(f)(1-3), Title 10, Chapter 2 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code.
LEVEL II ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS: Decisions regarding applications for Level II Entertainment Permits are made by the Redondo Beach City Council, following a duly noticed public hearing, pursuant to Section 10-2.2506(f)(1-3) of Title 10, Chapter 2 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code.
After such hearing, the City Council may grant the permit subject to such conditions as it shall deem necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community, and the peaceful enjoyment of all adjacent properties.
The City Council may deny any Entertainment Permit application if it determines that the proposed entertainment may interfere with the quiet enjoyment of neighboring properties, and there are no conditions which may be attached to an approval which would adequately ameliorate these impacts.
TERM OF ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS:
LEVEL I ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS: Level I Entertainment Permit may be granted for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance and can be renewed on the anniversary date thereof unless revoked or suspended pursuant to Section 4-17.07 of Title 4, Chapter 17 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code.

SECURITY BOND REQUIRED FOR ALL LEVEL I AND LEVEL II ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS:
Every Entertainment Permit issued pursuant to Title 4, Chapter 17 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code shall require a security bond to be posted with the City to cover extraordinary law enforcement or public safety services provided to the permit holder resulting from the entertainment activity for which the permit is granted. The bond shall consist of cash deposited with the City in a specified amount which shall be returned to the permittee upon termination of the permit. The amount of the security bond for permitted entertainment activities shall be determined pursuant to schedule adopted by resolution of the Redondo Beach City Council.
The bond required may be drawn upon when, in the determination of the Chief of Police, “extraordinary law enforcement or public safety services” have been provided to the permittee in connection with the entertainment activity conducted under an approved Entertainment Permit. The amount drawn upon shall be determined by the Chief of Police, but shall not exceed the actual and reasonable cost of providing the extraordinary service. The Chief of Police shall notify the permittee in writing of any reduction in the bond, the reason therefore, the basis for calculating the amount of the reduction and the requirement that the bond be replenished. The permittee shall have five (5) days from the date of notification to replenish the bond in the amount specified.

Non-profit ID 95-4785457
Nature of Business: Non-profit Arts Org / Entertainment Theatre Venue Former Location Address: 777 S Centre Street San Pedro, CA 90731 Years of Business Operation at former address San Pedro: 2002-2024 Website for Little Fish Theatre: https://www.littlefishtheatre.org/pond/ Attached history of programming
PRODUCER’S HISTORY
Shakespeare by the Sea (SBTS) is an established arts organization that has been operating in LA County since 1998 when it began producing a free Summer Shakespeare Festival that currently tours to over 15 communities and contemporary works in a fixed location indoor theatre.
In 2002, the company transformed an old city tow yard into an intimate 65 seat performance venue called Little Fish Theatre (LFT) to produce theatre year-round and is designated a Membership Company by Actor's Equity Association. While both programs provide impactful theater, LFT focuses on new and contemporary works that lend themselves to an intimate theatre venue. A LFT season includes over a dozen productions - full length plays, short form projects, and solo shows that include theatre artists from throughout the LA region.
In 2023, LFT produced 8 full run productions and 5 short run events for a total of 72 performances.
LFT seasonally employed 63 professional actors and another 72 creative and technical personnel.
There are 4 year-round employees.
Relocation - Last winter, after 21 years located in San Pedro, the organization lost the lease to the theatre venue to commercial re-development. The 2024 season (22nd year for LFT) was paused for a region-wide search to find a new venue. In March 2024, SBTS/LFT moved its entire operation Beach Cities Health District. Leaning on past experience transforming non-traditional spaces, we are currently Transforming the space into a professional theatre for LFT, with attached rehearsal hall, scenic shop, multiple dressing rooms, exhibit areas, and a large lobby and courtyard for entertaining. In Winter 24, LFT plans to resume productions and reopen to the public.
The new venue in Redondo Beach allows SBTS/LFT to continue its established entertainment programming for the public as well as expand into social and educational programing by engaging with some BCHD neighbors - allcove Beach Cities and their families and the residents, healthcare workers, and families of Silverado. This move is a new chapter, and an extension in our efforts to find ways to engage people who would not usually access theatre. With a 27th Season of Shakespeare on tour this summer and a full season planned at LFT in 2025, SBTS/LFT has renewed its mission to not only produce great plays but also make a positive impact in local community.
Leadership - SBTS/LFT Co-Artistic Directors Stephanie Coltrin and Suzanne Dean share over 40 years between them of experience in producing theater, developing new works, operating a venue, fundraising, theatre arts education and supporting creative and technical artists.
