The 5th Annual BFF Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre, the only FREE Fringe Festival in the nation, will be a little different this year. We’re sure you know why. Despite the challenges of this worldwide pandemic, we embrace an optimism for the future, continuing to produce theatre that aims to connect us, celebrate our strengths and differences, and enrich our lives.
\nWhat\u2019s on today? Actress (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Comic (Oprah), Acclaimed solo artist (Ripe) and nationally touring speaker Wendy Hammers had Cancer. Pancreatic. A year later, she didn\u2019t. I BROKE UP WITH CANCER is her inspiring story. The conversation continues with a post-show Zoom Q&A session with cancer survivor\/thriver Wendy Hammers. You can ask all the questions you want to and even a few that you are afraid to ask. One live-streaming show only.
\nWe’re sad and disappointed we are not able to invite audiences into our theatres and know that live-stream can never replace the human connection that comes from shared space that is so intrinsic and vital to theatre, but safety and health come first. We look forward to seeing everyone in person at BFF 2021. And since we\u2019re live online this year, we can even touch the lives of friends on the East Coast and beyond.
\nThanks to generous grants from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, and Playhouse PALS, BFF 2020 will bring you a host of free events online as BFF artists present a series of shows that will have audiences of all ages raving with laughter and tears.
\nBFF 2020 events will include Heather Keller\u2019s CHEMO BARBIE (Oct 19, 6:30pm), Wendy Hammers I BROKE UP WITH CANCER (Oct 21, 5pm), ALICE AND THE WONDERFUL TEA PARTY (Oct 25, 1pm), Marilyn Anderson\u2019s HOW TO LIVE LIKE A MILLIONAIRE WHEN YOU\u2019RE A MILLION SHORT (Oct 26, 5:30pm), Jannica Olin\u2019s (IM)Perfekt (Oct 28, 6pm), Carla Delaney\u2019s WORTH IT!
