Patrick Shearer (Scrooge) is an Artistic Associate with Nosedive Productions, meaning that in the past he's filled the roles of producer, director, actor, sound engineer, set designer, janitor, and gopher, depending on what's needed. Let's put it this way: if Nosedive were the mafia, he'd be a Consigliere; if Pete and James were Arthur and Guinevere, he'd be their Merlin; if they were Han and Leia, he'd be Chewy (and, deep down, aren't we all a little chewy?) Previous Nosedive appearances include "Dying Goldfish", "Two Parties", "Ruins" and "The Awaited Visit". For Emerging Artists' Theatre he played Harold in "The Gay Naked Play" but, unfortunately, was neither gay nor naked (and thus, unmemorable.) He's directed productions and workshops of original works like "Nils Torvald" by Jack Rushen, "Beep" by Marc Chun, "Jonestown: The Musical" by Larry Lees and Brian Silliman, as well as "The Attempt" and "Jiffy Squid" by James Comtois. He's also living in sin with "Scrooge's Mother", which makes those scenes just plain weird.
