Patrice is very proud of and honored to be involved with Theatre Mir. She is an advocate of compassionate action and everyday, practical environmentalism. She is also an advocate of making daring choices that change the world for the better. As an actress, she was most recently seen as Lady Macbeth with First Folio Theatre, and as Reverend Mother Celine in Lifeline Theatre's "Mariette in Ecstasy". Three of her favorite roles are Barbara Fordham in "August: Osage County" (Steppenwolf Theatre - understudy), Lady Croom in "Arcadia" (Remy Bumppo Theatre) and Maggie in "Lend Me a Tenor" (Stage West). She has worked at several other Chicago theatres and with several regional Shakespeare Festivals. In 2010, she is looking forward to playing the wonderful and challenging character of Martha in RedTwist's production of "That Face". Patrice is Head of Movement at The Theatre School at DePaul University.
