Ain't That Good News by the Bengsons

Abigail Nessen Bengson & Shaun McClain Bengson's Ain't That Good News is a raucous vaudevillian cabaret, full of roaring original music and impassioned characters. The Bengson duo evoke the quintessentially American stories of the immigrant and the outcast and play at the heart of the political struggles of our age through a melding of the musical forms of Tin Pan Alley, the Old South, German Weimar and rock and roll. The show is constantly evolving. As the Bengsons travel, they trade songs and drinks for new stories from the personal to the divine, and shift the work to reflect where they've been, and each new community they're in. This work was made possible through generous support from the Puffin Foundation (Teaneck, NJ), Town Hall Theater (Middlebury, VT) andBRICLab (Brooklyn, NY).
