The Bulkley Valley Concert Association (BVCA) is starting a new season and is bringing us one of our own.<\/p>\n
Ethan DeHoog will be performing at the Old Church, in Smithers, September 19 at 7 p.m., September 20 at 2 and 7 p.m. <\/p>\n
“Ethan’s return is more than just a homecoming – it's a celebration of the creative spirit that thrives in small towns and the journeys that begin here," the concert association said.<\/p>\n
Now, a Vancouver-based artist, Ethan is returning to his northern roots to perform his solo show: Cardboard Boxes and Other Ways to Travel.<\/em><\/p>\n "Ethan’s journey from Smithers to the vibrant arts scene of Vancouver has been marked by resilience, creativity and a deep love for storytelling,” the BVCA continued.<\/p>\n Ethan was raised, he said, "through his awkward teenage years on Van Gaalen Rd.”<\/p>\n Both his parents were storytellers. With a creative spirit filling his home. He was naturally inclined to pursue life in the arts.<\/p>\n That pursuit took him to Studio 58, a theatre and school associated with Langara College in Vancouver. After graduating in 2023, Ethan quickly made a name for himself in the city’s theatre community, performing in productions such as Blue Stocking<\/em>, Metamorphases<\/em>, and A Chorus Line.<\/em><\/p>\n
