Love, Life and Literature

Lately I have been trying to find a way to incorporate the story of Patterson into a play for the centennial. Finally, with the help of my trusty assistant Moonisah, we discovered the thing that ties all Pattersonites together is the town's sense of community. So with that in mind and with suggestions that she has made I am now writing the first draft of the Centennial Play which I have subtitled A Thread of Community (a working title). If there are any suggestions or ideas out there I am more than glad to hear about them.

Arts in Patterson

It's unfortunate, but when most think of Patterson or the Westside, the arts isn't one of the first things that come to mind. Tori and I plan on changing that. The fact is there are plenty of arts here in Patterson and even more arts opportunities to come in the near future!

For example, we have the Del Puerto Art Group, Patterson Repertory Theatre (Tori and I are co-founders), two dance companies - Curtain Call and Trinity Dance Center, Patterson Art and Wine (a fundraiser for our theatre), and we have our Centennial Mural Project coming, as well!

Stay tuned for more arts in Patterson! We will do our best to post everything about the arts in our lovely community on this Patterson Arts Project blog.

We promise there is plenty more to come...
