The BFF Free Festival of Theatre presents David Henry Hwang Writer's Institute with East West Players – an evening of 10-minute readings of original works by new and emerging playwrights. SUMMER SHORTS features Christopher Aguilar, Karen Huie, Kurt Kanazawa, Christine Ma, Warren Sata, Brandon Shim, and Randy Tamura. Directed by Jully Lee and Darrell Kunitomi. And it’s FREE as part of the BFF Binge Free Festival of Theatre – your new BFF – the second annual official Santa Monica Fringe Festival of theatre. The BFF (October 16 – 29) offers over four dozen plays, workshops and an overflowing toy-box of special family-oriented events, to delight your senses and tickle your funny bone – and every single one of them is FREE, thanks to generous grants from the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, Pearl and Bill Bordy, the Cotkin Family and Playhouse PALS.
