Wilber's War: An American Family's Journey through WWII - A Staged Book Talk at Black Box Lab at Stage284

Patricia Peterson Jamison [Narrator] began her thespian life as a child in the attic of her home, known as The Maple Street Players. From New Jersey to Vermont, Montreal, Switzerland, and Boston, she was constantly involved in theatre and music.

In between dramatic ventures, Patricia obtained her undergraduate degrees in Switzerland (where she studied under Pascal Franchot Tone) and at McGill University in Montreal, and her Masters at the University of Vermont. Her early career saw her as the Director of a large Student Services office at an elite New England college. She went on to consult for many years for The College Board and numerous colleges and universities throughout the country.

Patricia came back to theater in 2011 after a many year hiatus to raise her 5 children. Since, then, she has been following in her Mother’s footsteps, with favorite roles of “Lotte” in Castle Hill’s Lettice and Lovage, [EMACT DASH Best Supporting Actress Nominee], for STAGE284: “Miss Bennett in An Unexpected Guest,  “Winifred Banks” in the magically inventive Mary Poppins , “Abby Brewster” in Arsenic and Old Lace, “Marmee” in Little Women and “Mother Abbess” in Sound of Music. In the Boston area, she’s loved “Nettie Fowler” in Carousel with FUDGE Theater Company, “Reverend Mother” in Nunsense and “Aunt March” in Little Women for Wakefield Repertory Theater.  She portrayed “Abigail Adams” two years in a row in 1776 for MaMu Productions. Patricia can also be seen in HBO’s ‘Olive Kitteridge’ and ‘Black Mass’, but live theater is her favorite!

Patricia and her two partners (Myriam Cyr and Cat Stramer) are founding members of Stage284 and the Founders of Black Box Lab at Stage284 in 2016. The quality and level of artistic excellence have been lauded for the work that Black Box Lab has undertaken since that time. Patricia has produced all of our shows and acted in several of them.
