Directed by Jena Joyce and set in the fictional Friedland Park, this hilarious and heartfelt collection of five short plays serves up comedy, catharsis, and a whole lot of “Yep, been there.” Written by San Diego-based playwrights and performed by a knockout cast of local actors, "Park Bench Confessions" dives headfirst into the invisible labor women take on—at work, at home, in their bodies, and in each other’s business.

The show features a talented cast of local San Diego actors, including Julie Alexandria, Isabel Canzoneri, Susan Clausen, Maria Costello, Blair Hatch, Lucinda Moaney, Analia Romero, and Naomi Welsh.  Featured San Diego based playwrights include Lindsey Salatka Julie Alexandria Melissa Jordan Grey Lolo Moreno Ines and Caroline Gilman
