A WORD from the DEAN’S DESK

I’

m excited to welcome you to the Grand Theatre’s 2017-18 season, which we’re starting off with the Grand’s signature production, Always…Patsy Cline. I’ve had the good fortune to direct each of our productions of this show, and always with the incomparable Erica Hansen as Patsy. I recall the audition process the first time we did the production. I asked those auditioning to prepare the song Crazy, and three notes into the song and I knew Erica was our Patsy. Her portrayal of one of America’s greatest musical icons is remarkable and as you will see, unforgettable! Thank you Erica! Joining Erica this time around is Dawn Veree as the memorable Louise. Dawn has been with the Grand for many productions and we are pleased she could join us for this show. Her Louise is vibrant, erratic and as genuine as the music of Patsy Cline. She and Erica will present a remarkable theatrical experience, so sit back and enjoy! Special thanks to Seth Miller and the production team and the Grand Theatre staff for their remarkable work and effort on their continued contribution to the cultural fabric of our community. This musical shares the story of one of country music’s brightest stars and her unforgettable connection with a fan. If you haven’t seen it before, get ready, and if you have, enjoy the continued richness of this performance by talented artists.

Housed in the Center of Art & Media, The Grand is a community treasure that provides outstanding quality productions at reasonable prices and engages our community’s premier talent; professional, semi­professional, amateur and student who are all dedicated to experiencing and providing you with exceptional theatrical events.

The Grand’s shows are just some of the many artistic and cultural events you’ll find here at the Center for Arts and Media. Our talented students participate in a wide array of fantastic offerings, including concerts and performances by our band, choir, and dance ensembles, engrossing visual art shows, screenings of thought -provoking films and documentaries, and powerful productions in our Black Box Theatre. We’re excited to serve as the largest Salt Lake City venue for the annual Sundance Film Festival, where you can join fellow film lovers to appreciate the very best cinema from around the world. At the Center, you’ll also find professional exhibits by SLCC faculty, students and local artists in our Eccles Art Gallery, free screenings and discussions with our professors on classic films, and stimulating lectures and presentations.

Art is “doing” and at the South City Campus we are “Doing”! I look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy all of the Grand’s amazing shows coming up this season.

IT’S BACK

W

e are thrilled to announce the return of Erica Hansen as Patsy Cline in Always… Patsy Cline – the 7th time the Grand Theatre has produced this audience favorite! Written by Ted Swindley, Always… Patsy Cline is a two-woman show based on the true story of Patsy Cline’s friendship with Houston housewife, Louise Seger, played this year by Dawn Veree. Packed with 27 of Cline’s greatest hits, including “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” and “Sweet Dreams,” fans will rediscover forgotten tunes and walk away humming new ones. Hansen’s portrayal of the country legend has garnered both critical acclaim as well as captured the hearts of Grand Theatre goers time and again. This is our most requested show and we’re thrilled to be hoppin’ back on the honky-tonk merry-go-round!

“The music is performed to absolute perfection by Hansen and has the crowd literally dancing in the aisles. Hansen really nails it.” – Ivan Lincoln, Deseret News “Hansen so enjoys her role, that the emotion of the songs simply rolls over and saturates the audience.” – Jay Wamsley, The Utah Statesman

ABOUT the PLAY Synopsis Meet Louise Seger, a Texas housewife who first hears Patsy Cline on the televised Arthur Godfrey show in 1957. Patsy sings, “Walkin’ After Midnight” and Louise becomes a fan for life. Four years later Louise hears Patsy again, this time on the radio singing, “I Fall to Pieces.” Louise is so taken with the song that she begins calling the local radio station and asking them to play “I Fall to Pieces” every day. One day a tired out disc jockey tells Louise that Patsy is coming to town to perform at the Esquire Ballroom. Louise is ecstatic and takes her friends to see the show, arriving several hours early so they can get the best seats in the house. By chance, Patsy arrives early and spends part of the evening with Louise and her crew.

Patsy sings many of her trademark tunes, including, “Sweet Dreams.” Patsy and Louise continue their friendship by letter until 1963.

About the Author Author and playwright Ted Swindley’s production of Always...Patsy Cline premiered in New York City in June of 1997. As a Founding Artistic Director of the Stages Repertory Theater in Houston, Texas, Mr. Swindley has directed many theatrical productions. These include, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Our Town.

His musical, Honkey Tonk Angels is playing around the country. Currently, Mr. Swindley directs his own production company, Ted Swindley Productions and he continues to write.

About Patsy Cline Born Virginia Patterson Henley in 1932 in Winchester, Virginia, Patsy survived a hardscrabble childhood to become the “Queen of Country Music”. Despite early setbacks in her musical career, Patsy rose to stardom with her hits, “Crazy” and “I Fall to Pieces”. She made appearances on American Bandstand, The Johnny Cash show and spent time performing at the Grand Ole Opry. Her recordings were later covered by musicians such as Elvis Costello, Don Everly and Emmylou Harris. In March of 1963, her career ended suddenly. Despite her short career, Pasty left country music with a legacy, influencing later singers such as Reba McEntire. Patsy was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973.

Her life is the subject of the 1985 feature film, Sweet Dreams, starring Jessica Lange.

Because there is no charge for this service, you will be requested to leave your driver’s license with the cashier until the equipment is returned.
