Actors Theatre of Louisville Storytelling (R)evolution Lab Production

January 18-28, 2023
Live in the Victor Jory Theater

Overview

Indie-folk duo Abigail and Shaun Bengson (The Keep Going Song, Where the Mountain Meets the Sea) return to Actors Theatre to develop this story about losing and finding faith, movingly told through song. Ohio traces Shaun’s journey growing up in the church, discovering his voice through music, and experiencing the hearing loss passed down through generations in his family. This intimate concert is an invitation to join The Bengsons in celebrating the choice to live joyfully in the face of so many unanswerable questions.

About the Storytelling (R)evolution Lab:  Actors Theatre of Louisville’s Storytelling (R)evolution Lab is a research and development (R&D) space of year-round innovation and experimentation that creates opportunities for us to invest in nurturing  artists and creative collaborations at the intersection of artistic practice and holistic health. Ohio will receive developmental support through rehearsals and a series of workshop performances that give audiences an early look at this new work in progress.
