Don't miss Jaelon in Jesus Christ Superstar, opening TOMORROW, June 4-20, 2026.

Ben Grimes enlisted in the Army at 30 years old after years of pursuing a professional acting career in New York. He served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, deployed twice to Iraq, and when he came home for the last time, he returned to theatre. Not as an escape, but as a way to process what he'd carried. That experience reshaped everything about how he thinks about what theatre is for.
Beyond Theatre Collective's "Honoring Veterans in Theatre" feature spotlights Ben alongside five other veterans who found their way to the stage or the rehearsal room. He talks about the unexpected parallels between military life and theatre, why he believes soldiers and theatre people have more in common than anyone expects, and why he thinks live theatre matters now more than ever — one of the few things, as he puts it, that AI cannot replicate.
Now leading Market House Theatre as Managing Artistic Director, Ben brings the discipline, the hard-won perspective, the deep belief that art can heal into everything we do here in Paducah.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude. 🎭

Thanks to more than three dozen households, we've raised $9,772 toward our $20,000 goal. Kentucky Gives Day may be over but, the need still persists.

Every dollar is going directly toward stabilizing our Production & Scene Shop in Paducah's historic Ideal Reel building, the place where every MHT show begins..

As we head into our 63rd Season, themed An Act of Community, we're reminded that protecting places like this only happens when people come together.

We're halfway there. Can you help us close the gap? Donate today at mkt.show/kygives

Thank you. We appreciate your continued support.🤍
