Meet the Business Owner

Patricia P.

Business Owner

With early roots in Community Theater, Patricia McKeon Padrick (Founder & Owner) was bitten by the acting bug at a young age. Many joyful years were spent within the caring mentorship of her local community theater in New Jersey. Acting, singing, dancing, set building, costume making and enjoying the support and camaraderie of fellow thespians aided in her character development and fed her passion for the performing arts.

Her formal study of acting began at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City when she was eighteen. She later joined the ranks as a professional actor by becoming a proud member of the Actors’ Equity Association.

Thanks to her daughter, Patricia was brought back to the performing arts after years in corporate banking. Her passion for theater and love of working with children have led her to direct local amateur theater productions, design and manage the Red Clay Theatre’s Summer Drama Camp, and establish The Actor’s Edge, LLC.
