About this episode
Patrick Ball discusses his journey from regional theater to landing a life-changing role and making his Broadway debut.
Patrick Ball nearly gave up on his acting dreams. After a decade in regional theater and working odd jobs, his future seemed uncertain. That is until he landed a job on THE PITT. The rest is history. Here in his podcast debut (!), Patrick talks about landing the job that changed his life, how it was meant for him, and making his Broadway debut in BECKY SHAW.
