PAT HALLORAN
If life is but a stage, Pat Halloran has had one heck of a life. Much of it, though, has been while working behind the curtains. Halloran’s best work came during a 35-year career as president and CEO of the historic Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee. During his run the theater booked more than 2,500 performances of 300-plus Broadway productions, attracting 5 million visitors. He also directed two major renovations totaling $20 million. And did we mention the 1965 UNO graduate’s Tony awards — all three of them? He won his first Tony in 2003 as producer of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” another in 2005 for “Spamalot” then a third in 2010 for “Memphis” as best musical. Today Halloran is a major gifts officer with the Church Health Center in Memphis
