Bethanie Patterson is excited to be with us this summer. She is a Junior Theatre major with a minor in Arts Administration. She is from Montgomery, PA where she has much experience watching little kids grow through her mom’s home daycare and extensive babysitting. Although Bethanie began as a performer, she now considers herself more of a director and writer. She is mainly interested in directing children’s theatre for all ages from toddlers to teens. However, she has the mos...t experience working with children under the age of 5, making Puppet Brigade a great fit for her. Bethanie enjoys spreading love, happiness, and empathy by writing her own theatrical pieces. Her extensive music and dance background form a creative foundation as she pursues her ultimate goal, starting her own children’s theatre and giving future generations a creative space to be themselves. She is truly passionate about having this opportunity to learn more ways of how to engage the child’s mind through the arts! We are pleased to have Bethanie and her passion for children as part of our team. See more
