Jen Childs, co-founder of 1812 Productions, annually produces "This is the Week That Is," a full-length theatrical show about current events ripped from the day's headlines. The script changes daily. But one of the recurring characters is Patsy, a fiercely opinionated denizen of South Philadelphia, who holds court from her stoop at 7th and Shunk. WHYY and NewsWorks.org asked Patsy to venture outside her comfort zone (anything above Snyder Avenue is foreign territory to Pats) to investigate what it means to be a Creative Connector.
