The Bengsons’ ‘The Keep Going Songs’ to premiere off Broadway

The folk duo, composed of Abigail and Shaun Bengson, present the world-premiere theatrical concert at Lincoln Center Theater's Claire Tow Theater in April.

Lincoln Center Theater has set the next production in its Off-Broadway season, a theatrical concert titled The Keep Going Songs. Performances run at the Claire Tow Theater from April 20 to May 26, with opening night on May 2.

The show is written and performed by The Bengsons, composed of spouses Abigail and Shaun Bengson. The folk duo was represented off Broadway with Where The Mountain Meets the Sea, a play featuring songs they performed live, in the 2022-23 theatre season.

Their latest show is about life cycles, individual and collective, and the birth of hope from grief. The Keep Going Songs is described as "part concert, part wake, part theatrical extravaganza."

The show features sets by Cate McCrea, costumes by Hahnji Jang, lighting by Alejandro Fajardo, and sound by Nick Kourtides. Caitlin Sullivan directs.

The Keep Going Songs is a production of LCT3, Lincoln Center Theater's program of new works, often by emerging artists.
