Patrick Bliss, hometown boy from Oriental, returns to the Old Theater to
present a benefit concert to support the music programs at Pamlico
Encouraged by his family, Patrick started his musical career playing multiple instruments. He came into his own as a vocalist when he participated in musicals at Pamlico County High School, debuting as "Danny Zuko" in Grease and going on to star in many other shows. After graduating high school, he earned a Bachelor's degree in Voice, specializing in Performance, from High Point University. Today, Patrick continues to pursue a career in music, and has won numerous awards in and out of college. Most recently, he completed a year-long contract at Busch Gardens Williamsburg where he starred as the Innkeeper in Celtic Fyre. For the first set of his two-set performance, Patrick will perform a poignant song-cycle about the joys, love, and pitfalls of human relationships, featuring music by Jason Robert Brown from The Last Five Years and Songs for a New World, as well as Stephen Flaherty's A Man of No Importance. The second set will include pieces from well-loved show tunes like Jekyll and Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Phantom of the Opera, Civil War. He will also reprise The Streets of Dublin that wowed audiences last season. Tickets for this concert are $10 and go on sale Friday, January 27 at Nautical Wheelers, 411 Broad Street, and Village Hardware, 804 Broad Street, both in Oriental. Box office opens at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 7. The Old Theater is located at 609 Broad Street, Oriental, and is handicapped accessible.
