ABOUT THE SHOW
An exhilarating and celebratory true story about losing faith and finding hope in the darkest of places.
When Shaun turned his back on the church, he found a new home in music. Confronted now with acute degenerative hearing loss, he’s making the choice to live joyfully in the face of life’s many unanswerable questions. Ohio is an intimate and rousing new musical experience featuring creative captions, from Obie-winning Indie-folk duo and married couple The Bengsons.
