At the many theaters that call Southern Nevada home, new talent is being trained daily.

In this episode, Nevada Public Radio’s Christopher Alvarez chats with actor Austin Rankin, whose start with local company Broadway in the Hood has helped him take New York City’s Great White Way by storm. Rankin is part of Desert Companion’s Ones to Watch series, which profiles up-and-coming artists and entertainers in Las Vegas.
