The post <a href="https://bandonevents.org/event/no-matter-what-you-tell-me-aug-17/">No Matter What You Tell Me</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bandonevents.org">Bandon Events</a>.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writer and actor Benjamin Boucvalt brings his dramatic comedy, “No Matter What You Tell Me,” to Bandon with performances at the Sprague Community Theater at 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 16; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 17. This event is presented by Bandon Playhouse and the Sprague Community Theater.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Tickets</strong></p>
<p>Admission is $20 per person, online or at the box office. Advance tickets are <a href="https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/BandonPlayhouse/7783" target="_blank" rel="noopener">available at Tix.com</a>.</p>
