Ranging from comedy to drama, from realistic to the absurd, a night of readings of short-form plays will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. at Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th St. in Santa Monica.

These works, written by Christopher Aguilar, Karen Huie, Kurt Kanazawa, Christine Ma, Warren Sata, Brandon Shim, and Randy Tamura, emerged from Prince Gomovilas’ playwriting class at East West Players’ David Henry Hwang Writing Institute.

The 90-minute evening is produced by Sata, directed by Jully Lee and Darrell Kunitomi, and features Natasha Liu, Victoria Tate, Ryan Moriarty, Steve Brady, Christopher Belen Aguilar, Kunitomi and Sata.
