Pat is currently involved with The Children's Theatre, Inc. of Dover & Kent County Delaware of which she is a board member and Artistic Director. She has been involved with the non-profit theatre group since 1997. She started helping out by just doing makeup and hair for the theatre, when her daughter joined the theatre group when she was eight years old. She enjoyed being a part of such a community oriented and nurturing group of all volunteer members which lead to her to be a makeup artist and soon became a board member. She became interested in directing after assisting on three main stage productions. Since that time she has directed many plays. She wrote an original main stage play which was performed by the children of our theatre group, on stage at Wells Theatre, Wesley College and The Schwartz Center for the Arts in April of 2008 (The "Oh, So, True" Tale of Hansel and Gretel, The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood". In 2009, My daughter, Kathleen and I directed local playwright, Jim Rogin's adaptation of "Cinderella". I adapted his version of the play to include more characters for our April 2009 production.
