Patricia Burns
as Shirley
Although Patricia Burns has acted for the camera, the stage is her first love. She has performed to both audience and critical acclaim in numerous live productions in Vancouver and Kelowna, and she has won several dramatic awards for her stage work. Some favourite roles include Bella in Lost in Yonkers, Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker and Ensemble in The Laramie Project. Of course, one of her all-time favourite portrayals is as Shirley in Shirley Valentine, a one-woman masterpiece, which she first performed for Kelowna Actors Studio in 2006 and she is thrilled to reprise.
