A whole month of honky tonk singing, featuring Criss Ashwell as Patsy and Karen Lynn as Louise Seger, her long time friend. 

Written and originally directed by Ted Swindley, ALWAYS... PATSY CLINE is the story of the country music legend as told through the eyes of a Houston housewife, Louise Segar, who got to know Patsy during her short but amazing career.  The show features Patsy's famous tunes such as I Fall To Pieces, Walkin' After Midnight and Crazy. Patsy Cline is considered by many to be the first female country/pop cross-over artist. Her songs often hitting the top of both charts. Her career was unsteady, her life was filled with tragedy.

She was killed in a 1963 private plane crash along with other famous country musicians. They were returning to Nashville after a benefit concert in memory of a popular country music DJ who had been killed earlier in the year.  She is remembered for her booming voice and charming performance style. Patsy Cline's fans are still considerable in number. Newly recorded versions of her famous songs made fresh by today's top country singers keep her memory alive..

A sub-plot involves the doomed romance between a German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Emcee, who presides as master of ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub and serves as a constant metaphor for the current state of society in Weimar Germany throughout the show.  Set to be directed by Robbie Shafer in August, 2010
