聖塔莫尼卡瘋狂戲劇日

10/20/2018 - 10/21/2018

Free
SMPlayhouse-ABSOLUTELY-HALLOWEEN-The-Journey-Begins

The BFF aka The BINGE – FREE Festival of THEATRE – the second annual Santa Monica Fringe Festival – features at least three dozen artists, companies and performances by Santa Monica and Los Angeles based artists.

Productions from the festival 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 laugh-out-loud comedy to physical/visual theatre, from drama to poetry, from stand-up to one-woman-show, from parody to fairytale. Funny, smart, experimental, mindful, moving, some family friendly – some not! – something for everyone.

The BFF also includes an overflowing toy-box of family-friendly events and productions, to bring all generations together on and off the stage. Inclusive theatre arts workshops for youth and adults are also on offer throughout the fest.

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.
