Ben Beckley (Acting)

BEN BECKLEY is a writer and actor, known for smart, emotionally charged work. That work has taken him from Off Broadway to Broadway, from musicals to performance art, and from Shakespeare to American Horror Story. Ben made his Broadway debut in Heidi Schreck’s hit show What The Constitution Means To Me. Sharing the stage for a week with Heidi, he portrayed legionnaire Mel Yonkin and delivered a monologue about his own childhood in Southern Virginia. Personal monologues like that one have also been a staple of Ben’s work with The Assembly, which The New York Times dubbed “a cutting-edge young theater collective.” As a co-Artistic Director of the company, Ben has co-created seven original productions. For The Assembly’s latest, IN CORPO, a musical freely inspired by Franz Kafka’s The Castle, Ben wrote the book, co-wrote the lyrics, and performs in a central role; IN CORPO will premiere in June 2023 at Theatre Row.
