Breakup Bench is an actor-musician pop-operetta about a girl who takes guys to the same park bench to break-up with them. One day, her bench disappears and she finds herself stuck in a long-term relationship, unable to break things off without it. Things get even more complicated when an ex returns and a whole new set of problems arise. While navigating the maze that is modern dating, the three learn to cope with their relationships in love real, fake, and lack-there-of. Breakup Bench made its first public appearance spring of 2017 at the University of Washington, receiving support from the Mary Gates Endowment for Leadership.
