Steve Ben Israel was a long time member of the Living Theater and worked with the company from the early sixties to the late seventies.

He performed in their seminal works, including "The Brig, Frankenstein, Mysteries, and Paradise Now". He has toured throughout Europe, America, North Africa, and even escaped from Brazil when The Living Theater was held prisoner there. He then worked to free them and the group returned to bring their work back to the States.

His background is in Jazz, the stand up comedy scene of the New York Greenwich village renaissance of the fifties with Bill Cosby and Bob Dylan, and the Living Theater's world travels.

He currently lives in downtown NYC where he "holds séances to contact the living" and does a one man show that fuses all of these influences called "Non Violent Executions"
