Always... Patsy Cline – Rated PG

Book By: Ted Swindley Music as performed by Patsy Cline
Presented through Special Arrangement with Ted Swindley Productions
Directed By: Sandy Chamberlain
Always...Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger. Seger supplies a narrative while Cline floats in and out of singing tunes that made her famous--Anytime, Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy--to name a few. The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.

Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty creators of RAGTIME have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo.
The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
