Santa Monica College (SMC) will stage live performances of “Six Characters in Search of a Playwright” from October 18 through 27 at the Theatre Arts Studio Stage on its main campus. The production is an adaptation of Luigi Pirandello’s classic play and is directed by Terrin Adair.

The story follows a group of actors preparing to rehearse Pirandello’s “Mixing it Up” when six mysterious characters, the abandoned creations of an incomplete play, interrupt the rehearsal and demand that their story be told.

Showtimes include 7:30 p.m. performances on Fridays (Oct. 18 and 25) and Saturdays (Oct. 19 and 26), with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays (Oct. 20 and 27). 

Advance tickets are available online starting at $15 for SMC students and staff, with general tickets ranging from $18 to $20. Tickets purchased at the door are $3 higher. Free parking is provided for attendees.

They can be purchased online at smc.edu/tickets.
