Following several sold-out Off-Broadway, US, and UK tours as well as a selection as a New York Times critic's pick, Caitlin Cook's bathroom graffiti musical makes its San Diego debut! Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms stall scribbles into the lyrics of Cook's original songs and trail markers along her journey. Through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages, Cook reckons with our shared humanity and what we owe each other. May include: slingshotted panties, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete, with spurs!).

Enter the bathroom at your own risk: not all the graffiti in this bathroom is humorous or light-hearted. This show touches on such topics as death, suicidal thoughts, sex, disordered eating, and illustrated genitals (e.g. cowboy dicks and very fancy vaginas)
