Currently, he teaches film and theatre at Navarro College in Texas. Mr. Patterson received his master’s degree from Washington State University and a bachelor’s from Brigham Young University in theatre and cinema.
“While working in a small theatre group, I quickly discovered that many of the plays offered through mainstream publishers did not fit our company’s needs, so I began to adapt the plays of Shakespeare and other classics into a postmodern genre to better fit our space and the size of our company. One day Mariners dawned on me. I was always told to write what you know.
“The location of Mariners, Imperial Beach, is the town where I grew up. Back then (1960s), “I.B.”, as it was fondly referred to, was probably the only city on the Southern California coast that didn’t have a marina or beach front condos. We used to drive up a little dirt path called Cortez Avenue; this is where I came of age.”vizualizați mai puține
