Ethan J. Hulbert
Ethan J. Hulbert is a Los Angeles-based writer and artist, originally from Wisconsin and previously in Chicago.
With a background in advertising and science, and a longstanding interest in classical literature, music, and performance, his work is human-first but still considerate of historical context and tradition.
He attends performances across major institutions and niche venues throughout the year.
Ethan performed in theater and short films through college, including Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pippin, Les Misérables, Grease, A Christmas Carol, and The Importance of Being Earnest. However, he is no longer involved with acting and is not otherwise involved with the industry since moving to Los Angeles.
Ethan independently operates LA Culture Index (see also the About page).
You can find more information about Ethan on his personal homepage or his Instagram.
