THE PITT on Stage: A Guide to the Theater Stars in the Hit Series
Two series regulars—Isa Briones and Patrick Ball—can be seen on stage in this Broadway season alone.
The Pitt has become something of a phenomenon. Since its debut in 2025, the medical procedural has gained an enormous following nationwide, garnering critical acclaim and five Emmy Awards, including one for its leading star, Noah Wyle.
Those inside the medical community have noted its accurate depiction of the profession; those outside have praised it for its strong storytelling. The show has also crossed over to the world of Broadway. Two of its stars—Isa Briones and Patrick Ball—can be seen on stage in this Broadway season alone. They will be joined by their co-star Sepideh Moafi next month, who will appear off-Broadway opposite Hugh Jackman.
With the Season 2 finale arriving Thursday night, we have rounded up some of the stage stars who have made regular appearances on the show in the first two seasons. In addition to their onscreen work, many performers on the show have a rich theatrical background beyond Broadway, appearing in regional theaters across the country.
Take a look at our guide below, and watch a sneak preview for the highly anticipated Season 2 finale, coming to HBO Max on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 9:00 ET. The series has been renewed for a third season.

Isa Briones made her Broadway debut as Eurydice in Hadestown in 2024. However, she already had several stage credits under her belt, having appeared in the first national touring company of Hamilton, Musical Theatre West’s production of Grease, and East West Players’ Next to Normal, for which she won an L.A. Ovation Award.
In 2025, she starred off-Broadway in the play All Nighter alongside AnnaSophia Robb and, in 2026, joined the cast of the hit musical Just in Time as Connie Franchise, starring opposite Matthew Morrison.
For her role as Dr. Santos, Briones has found a whole new audience of fans, but though she plays a medical resident on television, Briones has musical theater in her blood—literally. Her father is a Broadway performer, Jon Jon Briones, who starred as the Engineer in the West End and Broadway revivals of Miss Saigon.
