Playscripts
 

Patsi has written two play scripts. Brews and Bach was created as the core story for a humorous Christmas madrigal. Set in Austria in the 1700s, it explores the history of coffee as a favorite beverage around the world. Gettin' Around was created for community theater and explores the life of jockey Jimmy Winkfield. For information on performance rights, contact Patsi (trollinger@kycom.net).
