Pat Snoxell lit up Manawatū’s stages and was a driving force behind the restoration of the Regent on Broadway. He had a 60 year involvement in theatre arts, directing more than 100 shows in the Manawatu and throughout NZ. He was a former President of the Palmerston North Operatic society and served 20 years on the Regent Trust Board. Pat passed away on the 5th of February 2021, aged 91. 

Pat was passionate about developing young people and spent many years encouraging young rangatahi in the Manawatū region to become involved in musical theatre and developing their talent. As part of Pat’s estate, he gifted an annual grant to help Manawatū youth develop performance arts skills.
