Pat McCorkle is thrilled to be an Artistic Associate for Barrington Stage Company. Pat has worked with Julie Boyd since 2001, having cast the actors in over 50 of the company’s main stage and second stage plays. Having strong roots in theater and in directing, a flair for the unexpected and tireless perseverance, Pat McCorkle, founder and president of McCorkle Casting Ltd., is well known as one of the top casting directors in New York. Raised in central New Jersey, McCorkle began working in theater as an assistant to the artistic director at Circle in the Square Theatre in New York. She found herself drawn to casting and began work as a casting assistant. A brief time later she was hired at Theatre Communications Group, a non-profit casting organization. During her tenure there, she ran the National Student Auditions. Also during this time, she began working with every major regional theater in the United States and Canada. This allowed her to forge associations and pipelines to new talent which continue to this day and established her as a new force on the national theater scene. With Pat’s influence in the theater firmly established, she soon branched into film and television, where she again brought her company to the top of the profession. McCorkle Casting has worked with some of the best directors and biggest stars in the entertainment business, and has cast a long list of unknown young actors who have gone on to become household names. McCorkle Casting has cast 50 Broadway productions, 58 Off-Broadway productions, 21 national tours, 61 television projects, 51 feature films and has worked with 43 regional theaters.
