Reviews
"He's such a pleasure to work with. I love him because I know if I give him a show to direct at my place he just makes my load lighter as a producer. I know a show is in good hands when Patrick's directing. He's also an advocate for the theater. If he's not directing or in one of our shows, he still comes to every show." -Carol Max, Curtain Call Theatre
"Patrick has a knack for seeing young talent and nurturing it-Maghen Ryan's performance in MEN ON BOATS is a great example of recognized talent and shaping it." -Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, Capital Repertory Theatre
COLLEGE AUDITION Monologue Coaching
You need two contrasting monologues that can show what you can do and who you are as an actor. You have a couple of minutes to make a great impression that will make a school want to work with you. Let me help you find those monologues that you look forward to performing and show you off at your best. We need to find the story that starts somewhere, something happens and you end up somewhere else.
Private coaching sessions: $30 per hour
Testimonials from Patrick’s Students
"The guidance I received from Patrick really helped me in the way I handle monologue and scene work for the stage. I came to him for coaching on my college audition monologues, and my sessions with him gave me the confidence I needed to go through the college audition process. I left the sessions not only feeling better about my audition material, but I felt that I also gained tools to better myself as a performer." -Nora Collins
"Every session is time well spent. Helping you grow your character, and yourself as an actor." -Sean Gordon

"It was so beneficial for me to work with Patrick. He helped me shape my monologues and extract nuances from them that I hadn't even considered. I would recommend his coaching to anyone working towards an audition, or just trying to improve as an actor and artist." -Marissa Scotti
