Pat has reviewed local theater for more than two decades; she sees more than 200 productions every year. With her colorful hair, language, and personality, she's earned the moniker "theater diva."

Pat's theater reviews appear weekly at sdtheatrescene.com, and beginning March 2008, on KSDS Jazz88.3 radio. She also writes regularly about the arts for the San Diego Jewish Journal.

In 1998, Pat created the Patté Awards™ for Theater Excellence ('cause theatermakers "ain't chopped liver!"), to honor the range and diversity of San Diego theater and to give something back to the community.

In her "other life," she was a long-time faculty member at San Diego State University. She obtained her Ph.D. in Communicative Arts & Sciences from the City University of New York.

Patté Productions Inc. was formed to promote the arts in San Diego through published articles, awards and events dedicated to the performing arts.
