Here’s what folks are saying about
Patrick and his cast of characters...

As a direct descendant of the American patriot Patrick Henry, Patrick Jolly brings to life the story of the man who spoke the immortal words “...give me liberty, or give me death!”

In a program which can be adapted for either children or adults, Patrick tells of the patriot’s concerns which helped launch the colonies into a revolution against the Crown.

Audiences, both young and old, appreciate the story of the man who, according to his one time friend, Thomas Jefferson, first set the ball of the American Revolution in motion.

In the times in which we are living, Americans need to hear again the ideas which spurred this country into existence. Citizens of all ages need to have the fire of patriotism rekindled within their hearts.
