Recently celebrating 15 years as a performer within the Upstate's theatre community, Neel Patrick has been seen on various stages throughout the Carolinas, including Greenville Theatre, the South Carolina Children's Theatre, Center Stage SC, the Younts Center for Performing Arts, and the Flat Rock Playhouse: The State Theatre of North Carolina.

This will be Neel Patrick's fourth Christmas special, and he is honored to be able to celebrate the season in this most special way once again. A native of Spartanburg, Neel Patrick holds a degree in Communications Studies and is the creator of Hartworks Theatrics. When not on stage, he is an avid Disney Parks aficionado and self-proclaimed Mickey Mouse addict.
