"Thank you for supporting live theatre!"

My first attempt at directing came when I was 7 years old, as I adapted a story at Christmas time and forced my cousins and brother to be part of the production. In the following years, I convinced my elementary school teachers to let me, instead of writing book reports, turn them into little plays that I then coerced my classmates to perform in. On a serious note, I feel very lucky because through the support of my parents and friends I have been able to continue my childhood dream. During the day I am a Spanish teacher, and I love to travel, entertain, and dance for fun. Some of my favorite plays that I have directed are La Casa de Bernarda Alba, La noche de asesinos, The Pillowman, and Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. This is the second Spanish Golden Age play that I have directed. I feel fortunate beyond words to be working with this amazing group of talented people. Life is a coloring book, and the amount of color and grace that you all have given my book is wondrous. Os quiero un montón. 

Patrick is so happy to be able to finally share this show with you after 11 Minutes has been living with it for so long (and he will not thank the 'rona for that!). He is a graduate of Metro State Denver with a BA in Theatre. This will be Patrick's third performance with 11 Minutes Theatre, with his previous credits being The Pillowman and Jacques Brel is Alive and Well. Other stage credits include The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes, Company, Anything Goes, Disaster! The Musical, and The Normal Heart, as well as multiple productions of and characters in Avenue Q and Reefer Madness among many others. In 2022, he'll have the pleasure of working on two more shows with 11 Minutes Theatre, directing Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike in the spring, then playing the deliciously wicked Salieri in Amadeus in the fall. He extends much thanks and love to family and friends, and to YOU for supporting live theatre!
