The story centers on Abigail and Shaun Bengson, two indie musicians who fall for each other the instant they meet in a diner. Love at first sight is immediately followed by anxiety when Abigail recalls a dream she deems \u201cprophetic:\u201d that she would meet her soulmate in a diner, but only have a hundred days to spend together. What follows is a mission to cram an entire lifetime into 100 days, while learning to embrace life\u2019s uncertainty along the way.<\/p>\n
\u201cHundred Days\u201d joins American Stage\u2019s 2025-2026 mainstage season, which explores the courage it takes to seek community, the beauty of unexpected destinations, and the journey of finding your way home.<\/p>\n
\u201cHundred Days\u201d also marks the return of familiar faces to the American Stage, offering audiences a fresh opportunity to see beloved performers in new roles. After a standout performance in last season\u2019s \u201cRing of Fire,\u201d Mikhail Roberts returns as Shaun Bengson. Audiences will get to see him in a new light in this deeply personal story set in Astoria, New York, the very neighborhood where he and his wife live.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love if the audience could walk away with the courage to pursue all of the love in their life, and to not fear rejection, not fear losing that love,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n
Also returning is K Chinthana Sotakoun, who wowed audiences as Yitzhak in \u201cHedwig and the Angry Inch\u201d and is now bringing their dynamic presence to the role of Abigail Bengson. The production also features a full, onstage band, blurring the lines between concert and theatre. With a powerhouse cast and live music driving the emotional core of the show, \u201cHundred Days\u201d promises a theatrical experience that\u2019s as intimate as it is electrifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
