Ben is delighted to be working with Parlando and the Dairy Center in continuing developing Treeson, a new, eco-conscious musical! Ben graduated with his BFA in acting from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2015. As an actor, Ben has worked all around the country (and world). He just graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with his MA in theatre and performance studies with an emphasis in environmental studies and will be staying on to pursue his PhD this fall. While in grad school, Ben has led climate theatre workshops in London as a graduate researcher, directed and co-conceptualized last fall’s opening mainstage show Climate Cabaret, presented at conferences and engaged in all sorts of pro-environmental mischief in and around Boulder. Ben believes that climate communication is not a one-size-fits-all effort. We hope this musical offering leaves you with the desire to engage YOUR community in meaningful storytelling as it relates to climate change. Thank you for supporting the arts.
