About The Director

At fifteen, Patrick Day was cast in the longest child role ever written at the time, portraying the title role of Huckleberry Finn in the only four-hour special for PBS, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." He co-starred with legendary talent such as Lillian Gish, Jim Dale, Frederic Forrest, Geraldine Page, Barnard Hughes, Butterfly McQueen and Richard Kiley.

Even on set, his respect for the art blossomed into a desire to teach. Patrick earned his Bachelor of Arts in Theatre with an emphasis on Directing from the University of Southern California in 1993. Shortly thereafter, his agent referred him to Young Actors Space where he became the youngest teacher in the history of YAS.

Patrick's method is based in years of solid experience, both behind and in front of the camera. He believes every actor works differently, and incorporates the art of improvisation into his classes in order to extract the raw ability and talent out of his performers and transform it into expertise.
