When
we asked Moira Smiley if she knew of any interesting artists who were Covid-sheltering
in Vermont this year, she immediately asked me if we knew about the
Bengsons. We certainly did! Natalie had
the opportunity to hear Abigail and Shaun Bengson, a composing and
performing married duo, in at the Under the Radar Festival in New York City a
few years ago and loved their intimate, folk-inflected, dramatic, relatable,
and affecting songs. They have appeared at venues across the country and around
the world. Three of their singles have been featured on “So You Think You Can
Dance” (FOX). Their theater
work includes Hundred Days (La Jolla Playhouse,
New York Theatre Workshop, The Public Theater, Know Theater, Z Space, US Tour),
The Lucky Ones (Ars Nova), Where the Mountain Meets the Sea (ATL’s
Humana Festival), Sundown, Yellow Moon (Ars Nova/WP), Anything That Gives Off Light (Edinburgh Theatre Festival,
US Tour), Hurricane Diane (New York Theatre
Workshop, Two River Theatre), You’ll Still Call Me By Name (New York Live Arts, Jacob’s
Pillow), The Place We Built (The Flea), and Iphigenia in Aulis (Classic Stage
Company). They have received the Jonathan Larson and Richard Rogers awards
and nominations for the Drama Desk, Drama League, and Lucile Lortel awards.
Abigail Bengson has appeared on High Maintenance (HBO) and toured as a member
of tUnE-YaRds, including an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
