Patrick Burns

I'm a pianist, singer, and actor who has experience hosting events, emceeing weddings, performing solo shows, improv comedy, musical theatre, singing from the piano, and more.

What you can expect is a professional process and product, a collaborative artist, and a competent businessman​.

I’m a professional actor, musician, composer, playwright, and director with experience performing Off-Broadway, regionally, and on national tours.

My career has taken me from intimate cabaret and concert settings to major theatrical productions. Whether I’m performing, music directing, accompanying singers, or creating an engaging program for a special event, I bring professionalism, versatility, humor, and a genuine connection with the audience.

As a writer and composer, my work has been produced Off-Broadway and at regional theatres across the country. My writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, The Chronicle of Social Change, and StageAgent.

I’m a multi-time Lincoln City Fellow with the Speranza Foundation, and much of my creative work explores foster care, justice, identity, representation, and social change without losing sight of entertainment and joy.

Take a look at my projects and media to learn more. I’d be delighted to help make your event memorable.

Please contact me as the technical needs will be different depending on the nature of the gig.
