Cindy works in Television & Film and is also a member of Theatre Neo. She has performed with the Reprise! Series (Mack & Mabel), the Mark Taper Forum (The First Picture Show), and was nominated for a Los Angeles Theatre Ovation Award for her role as the eccentrically winsome Hollywood Usherette in BLAME IT ON THE MOVIES at the Pasadena Playhouse. Also RAGTIME (Emma Goldman) at  South Bay Civic Light Opera and MAME (Agnes Gooch) North Shore Music Theatre and most recently SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD at the Rubicon Theatre where the LA Times said "Standout moments belong to Benson!".
