Patten Disregard

Nate speaks with legendary Broadway pianist Paul Ford.

Can somebody tell me why every new show is announcing how important it is? We get to the bottom of this in our latest episode: THE SELF IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. Featuring more wisdom from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda, as well as an interview with Broadway choreographer fresh off of staging the Tony Awards, Sarah O'Gleby.

Workplace safety training. Anti-bullying training. Mindfulness training. The list goes on and on…. Can someone tell me why in order to work in the theatre you need more training than a pediatric neurosurgeon? Why I've spoken to more nameless HR representatives than I have actors? Why I'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome from clicking through corporate sensitivity awareness platforms? Let's talk about why these mind-numbing trainings are actually making the workplace worse in our latest episode: TRAINING DAY

Do you think you deserve to be on Broadway just because you have a degree in theatre? Do you think it's 'not fair' you weren't nominated for a Tony? Do you think you're entitled to something just by making the decision to be an artist? Well, get ready for us to answer these questions in our latest episode: 'NOBODY OWES YOU SHIT!!!' Featuring an interview with Tony award winning choreographer Sergio Trujillo as well as the state of theatre from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda.

New Year, New Me. Just kidding. I'm not changing a goddamn thing. And neither are we. That's why we are thrilled to release our final episode of Season 1 of 'Patten Disregard': The Roast of Broadway - LIVE! Recorded in front of a live audience and band, this episode features musical performances by Marc Shaiman, Rachelle Rak, Angie Schworer, and Ashley Blanchet. We also hear from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda.
