THE KEEP GOING SONGS will have sets by Cate McCrea, costumes by Hahnji Jang, lighting by Alejandro Fajardo, and sound by Nick Kourtides. Kristy Bodall is the Stage Manager. THE BENGSONS, Abigail and Shaun Bengson, are a married composing and performing duo raising two children in queens! They believe grief and joy are the same thing. They are interested in anything that gets us all free.
