His full-length plays include Drift, Chore Monkeys, Flight, Blinders, Distant Neighbors, Lab Rats, Constant State of Panic, and Blinders, and have been staged by theaters across the country.

His audio plays have been broadcast by NPR, Shoestring Radio Theatre, Playing on Air, and Icebox Radio Theatre. Patrick has a habit of starting things: he helped start Boston’s Rhombus writers’ group, the Chameleon Stage theatre company in Denver, the Bare Bones Theatre company in New York, the publication Market InSight... for Playwrights, and the on-line Playwrights’ Submission Binge. He’s also a member of the Dramatists Guild, StageSource, and Rhombus. He is currently the co-founder and coordinator of the New England New Play Alliance and is actively involved with the Boston theater scene. He is the founder and producing artistic director of Plays in Place, a theatre company that specializes in creating site-specific plays in partnership with museums and historic sites. For 2018-2019 he will be the artist in residence at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA, where he will create two series of site-specific plays to be produced in 2019. Patrick has received numerous awards for work, including fellowships from the Colorado Council on the Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Commission.
