"...The stories are undeniably grim, but because of Galinsky's exuberance and skill, his characters are never merely depressing. Their energy, resilience, resourcefulness and determination are their saving grace as they struggle to survive and pursue some kind of redemption."

"...Claiming squatter's rights at one of the Hudson Theater's three theater spaces in the heart of Hollywood's Theater Row, is a very interesting one-man show. The Bench: A Homeless Love Story attempts to tell the stories of four homeless men and the woman that a least one of them might love."

"...Still, in the way Galinsky humanizes his characters and rescues their remarkable stories-and there are many thousands more out there-The Bench is a necessary play right now in the city with the largest population in the country of people experiencing homelessness."

"...Homelessness is a situation that devastates lives. Most of us avoid thinking about it. We look away as we pass the ever growing army of homeless souls the now seem to have become a permenant fixture in Los Angeles. We avoid eye contact, even as we make a small contribution. A new play at the Hudson Theatre directed by Jay O. Sanders confronts the issue head on and, at least for an hour, it makes the problem hard to ignore."
