Having met in an acting class in 2010, Rachel and Ben were partnered in a scene together, unaware of the connection and friendship that would continue to follow them around for the next decade and a half. With Ben studying for his MFA at Brown University/Trinity Rep and Rachel being a valued member of the theatre community working as a costume tech at Trintiy Rep and acting at the Gamm and Wilbury, the two continued to come in and out of each others lives; acting in plays together, bumping into each other at opening nights, running in similar circles, and so on...it wasn't until they were cast in a play together, at Trinity Rep, in the fall of 2023, that they reconnected, not having seen in each other in 7(ish) years. Rachel and Ben became inseparable, to the observation of their cast mates, crew, director and beyond, and the undeniable happened. Something that they both now feel deep down in their souls had been there all along.
