BFF-less at the 2025 VANCOUVER FRINGE FESTIVAL
Roomie Productions is a collective of young, emerging artists who recently graduated from Studio 58’s professional theatre training program and are passionate about telling relatable stories in a unique fashion. BFF-less is a brand new play written by Ben Brown and produced by Ben Brown, Janavi Chawla, Samantha Kerr, Emma Soothill and Hikari Terasawa.
BFF-less tells the story of Sadie’s search for a true number-one best friend. When Allison and Juno respond to her Craigslist ad, Sadie conducts a very unorthodox ‘Best Friend Test,’ to see which of them is worthy of being her new BFF. But can friendship be forced? Do adults need best friends? Is it possible to make friends in Vancouver?? BFF-less celebrates female friendship, and the awkward beauty of stepping out of your comfort zone to make new friends.
