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 can be heard weekly on KSDS Jazz88.3 radio. Beginning March 2009, her weekly column will appear at sdnn.com (San Diego News Network). She also writes regularly about culture, lifestyle and 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, where she was named 'Most Influential Faculty' eight times. 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 writing dedicated to the performing arts.

The Patté Foundation is a 501c3 organization for arts advocacy that produces the Patté Awards event and supports the Patté Scholarship for a Promising Young Theatermaker.
