The Crystal Theatre once again rolled out a red carpet for another hometown hero achieving stardom. Bob and Kathy Ezra made their theater available on a Friday night for the screening of two episodes of ABC’s “The Rookie” featuring Patrick Keleher, a 2020 graduate of Roaring Fork High School. Keleher honed his acting talents with the Stage of Life Theatre Company, Aspen Community Theatre and Theatre Aspen before landing a lead role on stage in the show “Fatherland” in Los Angeles (beating out 528 other actors). The success of that show, extending from a 30-day run to six months in Los Angeles and three Off-Broadway in New York City, helped him get a recurring part on “The Rookie.” Erin Rigney and Andrea Chacos organized the Jan. 17 festivities, beginning at the Crystal Theatre then moseying over to Bonfire for drinks and celebration. Rigney and Chacos have been long-time family friends of the Kelehers and wanted to create a community event for Patrick’s success.
