The Life and Times of Pat Rick by Anna Bittner, Jacob Sellers, and Melinda Weiss

This original student-written musical was first produced at Holy Cross Parish in Fort Branch, IN by the Maria Goretti Catholic Youth Ministry in 2011. Pat Rick’s original diary entries were written by Melinda Weiss while she played the title character in a previous musical by Bittner and Sellers. Inspired, the three developed an entire script and score around the diary of a misunderstood janitor who doesn’t know any better than to love unconditionally. May we all learn to love with the same purity and authenticity as Pat Rick.
