About Ben Fitch

Meet Ben Fitch

I’m an actor, playwright, musician, and voice artist with a deep love for storytelling in all its forms—whether it’s through a camera lens, a character on stage, or a voice in someone’s headphones.

For over 40 years, I’ve been immersed in performance—on screen, on stage, and behind the mic. I hold a BFA in Acting from the University of Montana and an MFA in Acting from the University of South Carolina. My journey began as the University of Montana’s mascot (yes, that really happened), and has since taken me through national commercials, feature films, network television, and countless stage productions. I’ve voiced everything from local spots to national campaigns, always bringing energy, nuance, and professionalism to every project.

As a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, and piano—and I’m always at home in roles that let me act, sing, and play all at once. Whether it’s musical theater, dramatic work, or commercial voice-over, I approach each project with curiosity, versatility, and a collaborative spirit.

My path has been as diverse as it has been fulfilling. Along the way, I’ve worked as a professional chef in fine dining kitchens, flown planes as a licensed pilot, spun records as a college radio DJ, and taught in elementary school classrooms. I see every chapter of my life as fuel for the next performance—each one adding depth, adaptability, and perspective to my work.

Thanks for stopping by—let’s make something memorable together.

Rey and Dim is a darkly comic one-act play that explores the raw edges of friendship, despair and unexpected grace in a world that's come undone.


Rey- unshaven, frantic and spiraling -- is alone in his one-room apartment, notebook in hand, safety razor on the table, contemplating a final act.  But a knock at the door from Dim, a quirky, unshakably calm acquaintence, shatters the silence.  What unfolds is a tense, tragicomic exchange laced with absurdity, tenderness and regret.


Set in a stripped-down urban flat, Rey and Dim is both intimate and existential.  In a single encounter, it captures the volatility of a man on the edge and the quiet, almost accidental heroism of human connection.  Gritty, oddly funny, and quietly redemptive, this short play offers a poignant look at the fragile ties that keep us from falling.

Originally crafted with the crackle of the airwaves in mind, this adaptation by Ben Fitch was first performed online during the isolating winter of 2020, when a small company of actors reached hundreds of households across the country at the height of the pandemic. That production, born out of necessity, proved what Dickens himself knew best: that stories have the power to unite us, comfort us, and remind us of our shared humanity—even when we cannot gather in person.

Written for radio but alive with possibility for stage, screen, or virtual performance, this script offers actors and audiences alike the joy of rediscovering Scrooge’s journey from bitterness to redemption. It invites performers to be inventive, and to rest—like Scrooge at the end of his long night—in joy, reconciliation, and hope.

Whether produced over the airwaves, in a theater, or through the glow of a screen, this adaptation carries forward the gift Dickens left us all: what it means to keep Christmas in our hearts.

The Sky Between Us

The Sky Between Us is a moving new play that bridges history and the present, memory and reconciliation, sky and earth.

The Sky Between Us is a moving new play that bridges history and the present, memory and reconciliation, sky and earth.

On his daily commute, Ben—a teacher, father, and private pilot—discovers the grave of Sam Bruce, a Tuskegee Airman who gave his life in World War II. Drawn by both his love of flying and his belief in civil rights, Ben begins stopping at the cemetery, first out of curiosity, then out of need. What begins as a quiet ritual becomes a profound dialogue across generations.

Through imagined conversations with Sam, Ben confronts the weight of family scars—an alcoholic mother, a manipulative brother, and the struggle to raise his son with integrity and hope. Sam, who fought prejudice in the cockpit while defending freedom abroad, offers not just his story, but his steadying presence. Together, the two men—one living, one long departed—wrestle with loss, nobility, and what it means to carry oneself with honor when the world is anything but fair.

At its heart, The Sky Between Us is a story of legacy and flight: of how one man’s courage in the skies of 1944 Italy can echo forward into the struggles of a father in present-day Seattle. It is a play about finding bearings when the compass spins, about passing on steadiness to the next generation, and about remembering that nobility is not in winning, but in how one carries the fight.

A tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen and a deeply personal meditation on resilience, The Sky Between Us invites audiences to honor the past while navigating their own storms with courage.
