Another Day in Paradise is a raw, eye-opening documentary theatre piece that amplifies the voices of the unhoused community—people we often overlook or avoid in our daily lives. Based on interviews, conducted in San Diego, the show dives deep into the personal stories of individuals facing unimaginable challenges: addiction, self-harm, sexual assault, and the profound loss of loved ones. It highlights the complex, heartbreaking realities behind the faces we pass by on the street without a second thought.

​

From an immigrant mother raising her child against all odds to a man struggling under the weight of personal tragedy, Another Day in Paradise confronts the harsh truths of life on the margins of society. These are stories of survival, resilience, and the fight for dignity in a world that often turns its back.

​

Produced by Blindspot Collective, known for creating theatre about real people in our communities, this piece reminds us that the lives of those experiencing homelessness are more than their circumstances. It’s a call to see their humanity and understand the depth of their struggles. This is an urgent, must-see work that challenges us to look closer and think differently about the people we so easily disregard.

​

Another Day in Paradise combines the real words of real people with a moving original score to challenge perceptions. Through personal stories, the show urges us to reconsider how we engage with those living on the streets and reminds us that, while large-scale change is needed, small acts of kindness can also make a difference far larger than we think. This piece encourages audiences to think about what we, as individuals and as a community, can do to address the needs of our neighbors.
