October 12th to 27th, 2019 (with encore performances through Nov 15!), Santa Monica Playhouse is proud to present The BFF: Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre - the fourth-annual Santa Monica fringe festival - a fringe festival featuring Los Angeles and Santa Monica based artists, with original shows that touch on a diverse range of subjects and themes from political to personal, love and loss, to sensuality and spirit, hierarchy and hope.
All bets are off, limits on boundaries and form wide open, with productions that range in style from classic comedy to poignant drama, from Shakespearian to one-woman-show, from slam poetry to stand-up comedy and improv, from parody to fairytale - something for everyone - and all events are free to the public.
The BFF will also include an overflowing toy-box of family-friendly events, to bring all generations together on and off the stage. Inclusive theatre arts workshops for youth and adults will be on offer throughout The BFF as well.
The BFF aims to celebrate the range and depth of the human condition and the idea that theatre arts experiences are vital, transformative, and must be available for all. On that note, all tickets and admissions to every single BFF event are free to the public, but reservations are required. Email theatre@SantaMonicaPlayhouise.com to reserve.
