Ethan is a second-year acting student from the Bay Area in California. He enjoys listening music from folk tunes to house bangers, long drives with friends and windows rolled down, and pissing off film bros with his letterbox reviews.

What brought you to UNCSA?

I was drawn to UNCSA by an interaction with Drama's director of recruitment that separated our school amongst the other top acting institutions. It became clear to me that it was a one-of-a-kind program, with very special people, with unique stories, in a beautiful place. What was especially important to me was a focus on creating work, especially collaboratively with other kinds of artists. So far, so good.

What is your favorite place to go in Winston and why?

Krankies Coffee is a well loved spot. I could eat those biscuit sandwiches for every meal. It's one of many places included in Winston's surprisingly large cute coffee shop scene. I also love to walk through Old Salem, just north of campus, which is just a beautiful place to reflect in.
