Contact: Becky Biegelsen PRESS RELEASE (858) 228-3094 | [email protected] LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES HUNDRED DAYS, THE BENGSONS’ “LUMINOUS MUSICAL MEMOIR,” AS FINAL PRODUCTION OF 2018/2019 SEASON RUN DATES SET FOR FULL SEASON SLATE La Jolla, CA – La Jolla Playhouse announces Hundred Days, book by The Bengsons and Sarah Gancher, music and lyrics by The Bengsons, directed by Anne Kauffman, and movement direction by Sonya Tayeh, as the final production of its 2018/2019 season, to run September 22 – October 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Dubbed “a luminous musical memoir” and a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Hundred Days is an exhilarating and heartrending autobiographical piece, written and performed by husband-and-wife team Abigail and Shaun Bengson, about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap, and loving as if you only had a hundred days to live. With their magnetic chemistry and unique musical style, the Bengsons explore the fundamental question of how to make the most of the time you have. “This deeply honest and life-affirming show is a terrific addition to the 2018/2109 season,” said Playhouse Artistic Director and 2017 Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley. “I’m always looking for vibrant and distinct new voices – as well as unique ways of storytelling – and the Bengsons speak to both these aims, culminating in a singular piece of theatre that defies genres. I can’t wait to share with our audiences.” Hundred Days joins the previously-announced 2018/2019 season productions of The Squirrels (June 5 – July 1), queens (July 3 – 29), Seize the King (August 21 – September 16), The Year to Come (December 4 – 30) and Diana (February 19 – March 31, 2019).

DANCING with the DEVIL(S): the Dance Industry's Endless Struggle
DANCING WITH THE DEVIL(S): The Dance Industry’s Endless Struggle to Maintain Relevance and How Vigilant Copyright-Protection Measures for Musical Works Are Further Damaging Its Odds By Gabrielle Peters, George Mason University School of Law INTRODUCTION Friedrich Nietzsche is often quoted as having said, “. those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”1 Undoubtedly, the statement was meant to be interpreted philosophically; however, applying a literal construction, the quotation quite effectively captures the issue at the heart of this Comment. On December 30, 2013, The Dance Sessions posted a video to their YouTube channel featuring two dancers performing Sonya Tayeh’s choreography,2 backed by Sam Smith’s stripped-down version of “Latch.”3 The footage was posted to display Tayeh’s choreographic skills and her assistants’ technical prowess, as well as inspire dancers who were unable to be physically present at the event.4 Though the video’s purpose was benign, after pulling in nearly 25,000 views, YouTube eradicated the underlying music. What was once a stunning display of dance technique and musicality is now a silent film—just movement and a text box.5 To use Nietzsche’s terminology, the dancers look moderately “insane” in the absence of music. The totality of the video’s beauty has been effectively diminished in the name of copyright protection. The relationship between dance and music is symbiotic. Dance mostly uses music as a backdrop, but the connection is arguably more critical: “Subtle and elusive aspects of dance-music relationships .
