“Making It” is a podcast series that finds people who are starting to “make it” in their specific industry. Whether that be entrepreneurship, film, or musical theater, the series follows different stories of young people who have some sort of accomplishment in their industry, but are just starting to. Each episode focuses on a particular industry, and it will be a narrative series that focuses on accomplishments, challenges, advice, and inspiration. In essence, the series aims to inspire people of that particular industry and also to “discover” and give a platform to the interviewees’ amazing stories.
In this episode, Pierce Wheeler decided to almost leave university completely after getting the life changing opportunity of being the understudy in the Dear Evan Hansen National Broadway Tour. He talks about his story and how he got the role, the tour, challenges, and inside information about the musical theater industry. We also hear from journalist Jeff Lunden about the challenges around building a career in the theatre world.
