Before coming to Northwestern, Dr. Hubbard worked extensively in both academic and professional theatre as a director, actor, teaching artist and playwright/adaptor. Among the shows he's directed are an award-winning production of The Comedy of Errors and an original stage adaptation of Larry Woiwode's novel Beyond the Bedroom Wall. Hubbard debuted his original, one-person show, Dancing with Jimmy, at the Association for Theatre in Higher Education conference in New York City in August 2003 and has since performed it in a number of venues. In 2005 he received a fellowship to participate in the O'Neill Critics Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center. He also publishes articles and reviews in numerous academic books and journals. Northwestern's 2024 recipient of the Faculty Excellence in Faith and Learning Award, Hubbard was inducted into the MSU Summer Theatre Hall of Fame in 2025—along with his wife, April—after many years of service to the summer stock theatre in Minot, North Dakota.
