Ebert spoke about his adventures transitioning from student to Broadway star, and participated in a Q&A with the students of Broadway Artists Alliance. "It's quite inspiring," Ebert said on working with children in Matilda. "It's an amazing group of kids and they range from really rambunctious to really focused and detail oriented. As soon as it comes time for action everyone's really on top of it."

A graduate of Juilliard School of Drama, Ebert's previous Broadway credits include Red and Brief Encounter. Off-Broadway credits include Suicide,Incorporated, and 4000 Miles, for which he won an Obie Award.
