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.

Which worked out just great with a son like me who knew it all. Well, not all of it. But a lot of it. Okay, not a lot, but some . . . ahh, who am I kidding? I didn’t know anything. None of us knew a thing. 

“No Matter What You Tell Me” is about a years-long journey of a son who liked to dig. Arguably in places he shouldn’t have been. I mean, we all know what our parents told us, right? “Mind your business.” 

I sometimes wonder if that would’ve been the better road. To have kept things buried. Maybe it wasn’t necessary for me to learn about that family member who chased a burglar down the street while completely naked and holding a lamp. 

Oh, well. No turning back now.
