stage or teaching children drama, others going on to government
or other professions. All of them had their lives made
fuller with the dramatic flair Patrick Madden spreads to
those who surround him.
Which begs the question: Please, sir, may we have some
more?
Name: Patrick Madden
Age: 41
Birthplace: Butler, Penn. Moved to
Port St. Lucie out of college at age 23
to take his teaching job
Occupation: Drama Teacher at Port
St. Lucie High School.
Family: Engaged to be married to
Laurie Glass.
What people don’t know about me: “For 19 years, I never
ate a meal at home. It’s amazing that I’m not being buried in
a piano box!”
What inspires me: “My former students; I am just as proud
of Adam Auerbach, who is an assistant principal, and
Stephen Wuycheck a drama teacher at Lincoln Park
Academy as I am of Jay Garcia, who’s now appearing in the
off-Broadway show ‘Altar Boyz.’”
Proudest achievement: “With the help of many hard working
volunteers, I’ve produced 18 years of shows that over
100,000 people have enjoyed at the high school auditorium.”
