Kezia Norton’s Fill Your Pockets with Sunshine - a BFF 24 in 25 Free Opening Night Event at Santa Monica Playhouse - The Other Space

It’s BFF 24 in 25, the 9th Annual BFF Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre, Feb 25 - April 4, the only FREE Fringe Festival in the nation, offering 30 plays, workshops and family-oriented events. Tonight’s show asks the question:

How can childhood experiences and trauma change the trajectory of a life. Kezia embarks on a personal journey to explore and understand the complexities of mental illness, particularly in the context of familial relationships – a candid and heartfelt portrayal of the impact Kezia’s mother’s mental illness has had on her life and identity. Through storytelling, performance, and raw vulnerability, Kezia’s aim is to shed more light on the struggles faced by individuals and families grappling with mental health challenges. Her hope is that by sharing her story, it can help foster a deeper understanding of this important issue.

The BFF celebrates the range and depth of the human condition and the idea that theatre arts experiences are vital, transformative, and must be available for all. Special thanks to generous grants from the We Are Santa Monica Fund, 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.
