"Shabaka" Henley ("Bob Hearts Abishola," "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Better Call Saul") will star in this benefit reading of Robert Galinsky's hit play The Bench: A Homeless Love Story, directed by Drama Desk winner Jay O. Sanders, streaming on Facebook at this Show Link . This one-night event was cast completely through the ActorTrade.com virtual audition app in conjunction with McCorkle Casting. The event will benefit Trinity Homeless Services.

Presented by Chris Noth, Mr. Henley, and Terry Schnuck. The Bench is mined from the true stories of people in the East Village neighborhood in Manhattan, where Galinsky lives and it presents a unique perspective of life on the streets through five homeless characters whose lives become forever entwined. With brutal honesty and humor, the story makes it alarmingly clear that so many of us are just one mistake away from joining this underserved and growing population.

The Bench cast includes: Barry "Shabaka" Henley, Monique Coleman, Renee Rogoff, Amber Crawford, Michael Houston and Robert Galinsky.

"Simultaneously historical and street-level contemporary, it's a wake-up call on a very visceral level. Robert's POV is from the inside, a place that most of us have never been." Director Jay O. Sanders
