About Me
Hello! I'm Ethan Smith, an actor currently based out of the Midwest. I am very interested in theater which leaves an audience with more questions than answers.
I graduated in May 2023 with a BFA in acting and a minor in film studies from Illinois Wesleyan University. In my free time, I go to the gym, practice the drums, and work on writing scripts! I am an avid rock n roll fan, my favorite bands include Led Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet, Van Halen, The Warning, and Def Leppard.

My friend Carmen Cecilia Retzer and I pre-show before we both went on as understudies for "What The Constitution Means to Me" at Milwaukee Repertory Theater. We ended up covering this entire week's worth of performances, including closing. March 2024
