Hello there! My name is Benjamin Cudmore, but most people call me Ben. My pronouns are he/him, and I am a freshman at University of Richmond (UR). I grew up in Melbourne, Florida and then moved to Vienna, Virginia in 8th grade after my parents’ divorce. So, now I can take a two hour flight to the sunshine state or just drive two hours to be at one of my homes. My favorite film is the Dark Crystal, my favorite book series is Peter and the Starcatchers, and my favorite tv show is always changing. Normally, I am a very social person; however, because I am introverted, my social battery does wear out. So if I seem not very talkative in class once and awhile, please do not take it personally!
My passion is theatre, while I do love to cook, paint, animate, and pursue many other creative activities as well. I am looking to major in theatre while studying at UR, and I hope to make as many friends I can along the way. I am excited to see how learning about the media, culture and identity that surrounds us will impact my writing and perception of my world.
What theatre genres are your favorite?
I do not necessarily have a favorite, but my specialty is classical (like Shakespeare).
