"...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."
