Jules M Patrick, Board Director

Jules loves Shakespeare, sitcoms and musicals, and geek culture. They’ve played Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, have filmed one of their D&D campaigns, and sing music from pop to operetta. It’s only a matter of time before they write and perform in that beloved TV musical satire set in Elizabethan-language Eberron. They just know it. Probably.
