"Patrick Page is one of the best Shakespearean actors not in the country, but in the world. To be directed by him is to stand on the shoulders of a giant and touch the sky, an actor's wish. He has that rare mix of elements which actor's hope for in a director: vision, knowledge, specificity, and humanity. He makes you feel empowered and hungry for excellence."

Michael Milligan, Off-Broadways Thom Pain,
The Shakespeare Theatre Co., McCarter, Guthrie

"Patrick has this innate ability to be completely present with a person and understand their needs as an actor, and as a student.  As an acting coach, he was instantly aware of the problems that I was dealing with, and he gave me the tools to navigate similar situations in the future, including in A Chorus Line. He is a wonderful coach, a wonderful performer, and above all a wonderful person because he cares about his craft and is passionate about the work and how it affects others."

Heather Parcells, Judy in Broadway’s A Chorus Line

"Working with Patrick both in New York and in Sedona were revitalizing processes for me. Patrick is from the Peter Brook school of thought that all that is needed for an incredible piece of Shakespeare is an empty stage and good actors to use it well. Patrick’s gift is with text and how to help actor’s use it. His last concern is whether he can make something clever or conceptual fly. He wants to tell the story and he wants to do it as fully and richly as possible using the text. I feel that Patrick possesses the ideal mix of “director” and “actor facilitator” that makes his work truly special. Patrick never had a negative word to say about anything any of us did. He didn’t settle for second best either, but he knew how to get it with his own passion and love rather than frustration or disappointment. He discovered the play with us and helped us find the performances we all wanted, making the process one of mutual excitement, texture, and fun.  I can honestly say that he is one of the few directors who I have worked with where I felt, “Wow. When can I work with this guy again!?"

Carson Elrod, Broadway’s Noises Off

"I remember in graduate school listening to a professor pontificate about the ‘two or three’ truly magical theatrical experiences of his life and thinking that all theatre was magical. I was wrong. I now have one of those experiences to savor and it is very much due to the precision, depth and clarity of your vision as well as your unswerving attention to detail that A Midsummer Night’s Dream will always hold a very special place in my heart."

Claude Pensis, Lighting Designer, Shakespeare Sedona

"Thanking you for your help feels so inadequate. Trying to spell out how much it helped me is really difficult, but the help was immediate, tangible, and exactly what I needed to make a significant leap forward. I can’t thank you enough."
