He navigated learning disabilities, a speech impediment, even a tractor accident, to carve out a career in classical theater performance and standup comedy.

About his play, Benjamin says: Families have secrets. And I’m not just talking about my brother’s bikini wax. Actually, that wasn’t a secret. This solo performance tells the story of how far someone is willing to go to uncover what their family keeps in the dark.

The play is hilarious, heartbreaking, and ever so hopeful. Told in the first person, this is a story of one secret that leads into another. A story that proves how family is fraught, never really what it appears, and, despite it all, so very necessary.

Most of Benjamin’s career has been spent on stage doing classical work. Both as a writer and actor, his passion for this is born out of his love for storytelling. Benjamin’s “No Matter What You Tell Me” was performed this summer in Las Vegas. After his stop in Oregon, he’ll be headed to California, New York, Ohio, and Minnesota.

Benjamin is a company member at Great River Shakespeare Festival. He is also an active martial artist and does fight choreography for stage and film across the country.
