Conyers Rockdale Council for the Arts Inspiration Theater is pleased to present: The Bench, A Homeless Love Story
Based on true stories and real people, The Bench, set in urban decay and rubble, explores the emotional heartbreak of five homeless characters and the catastrophic hysteria surrounding AIDS in the late 1980’s. It’s solo theater, where one actor plays five characters, written in dialogue form.
“The Bench A Homeless Love Story” takes place in NYC in 1987 and the language and subject matter is taken directly from the streets. Real people experiencing homelessness, giving an authentic and bold look at the issues, the slang, the beliefs, the stigmas and the sentiments of the time. How much has changed since then? How much hasn’t…?
Not recommended for younger audiences.

“The Bench is a powerful piece that shines a light on the complexity and humanity of people experiencing homelessness. As a performer, I am passionate about supporting projects that exist at the intersection of art and activism, which is why I am honored to present The Bench.” Co-Presenter, Monique Coleman, Human Rights Activist, Actor Disney’s “High School Musical”
“The Bench is the crucial next chapter for younger generations to understand the roots of our societal ills and our collective history centered on housing, pharmacy, family, and the future. We are sparking a long-overdue conversation about how we treat one another, just as Hamilton started a conversation about democracy, The Bench helps us understand and speak with compassion about the most vulnerable in our society. I was fortunate to have success in NY and LA and I am excited to bring The Bench to Conyers, Georgia!” Playwright & Performer, Robert Galinsky
“A slice of life carved from the lower depths. Galinsky brings a wrenching realism to his material.” LA Times
Written and Performed by Robert Galinsky; Directed by Jay O. Sanders; Produced by Terry Schnuck
