About College & What He’s Up To…
I've been up to a lot! Very grateful to have graduated from the University of Michigan, in 2021. Since then, I've appeard in Prayer for the French Republic - A Broadway play written by Joshua Harmon and directed by David Cromer. The play received a Tony nomination for Best Play in 2024. Most recently, I had a role in a new tv show called The Artist, starring Mandy Patinkin and streaming on The Network.
I've also had a ton of fun working as an acting coach the last couple of years. A bunch of my students are current BYE members! My awesome students have appeared in multiple Broadway shows, tv/film, and commercials!
Personally, I live with my girlfriend in a teeny tiny apartment in the East Village. I watch basketball, audition, and hang out with my friends!
BYE Memories …
My most unforgettable BYE experience was when a small group of us got the opportunity to sing Imagine with the band Train, live in Times Square on NYE before the ball drop!
A little advice from Ethan …
Performing is a lifelong pursuit! No matter what life throws at you or no matter how steep the hill may seem, we do it because we love to perform. If you love to learn and grow, you'll always enjoy the ride.
