Benjamin Heer (INS 1) is excited to debut with Theatre Unbound and to work with such a talented group of artists. When not on stage or driving along I-94, Ben works on a hydroponic farm in River Falls and takes improv classes with Stevie Ray’s Comedy Cabaret. He is grateful for his parents Sue and Andreas for their support and for his friend Betty for helping him with lines during break. The last production he was a part of was Aethem Theatre’s production of Persuasion, playing the role of Benwick.
