Breakup Bench is an original three-person actor-musician pop-operetta by librettist and composer Rheanna Atendido, directed by Hattie Claire Andres, with music supervision by Steven Tran. Breakup Bench will be created and produced as a virtual performance experience, filming on location at Annex for audiences to watch safely from home.

Breakup Bench centers around a girl who ends all of her relationships on the same park bench. One day, when her bench disappears, she finds herself stuck in a long-term relationship. Unable to break it off, things get even more complicated when her ex comes back into the picture. All three millennials must learn how to navigate the maze that is modern dating and cope with their relationships: real, fake, and lack-there-of.

In a very exciting but difficult to explain way, Annex Theatre will be continuing to showcase our season by essentially turning the space in a TV studio where we will be filming high quality versions of the plays we want to produce. Please include any questions about that process and other safety measures we are taking in your initial email. We want you to feel taken care of when you work with us.
