PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Howdy y’all! Come on in, sit right down, and make yourself at home!

We are delighted to have you join us as we close the 2014-2015 season with Always…Patsy Cline, back by popular demand for the eighth time! According to the American Theatre Magazine, Always…Patsy Cline has been one of the most produced musicals in America – a claim that’s hard to debate when we see so many familiar faces in the audience back for their sixth, seventh or even eighth viewing of Erica Hansen portraying the iconic Patsy Cline!

After a sold out run of Forever Plaid, rave reviews for Little Shop of Horrors, standing room only during January’s Backstage at the Grand Concert series, and critical acclaim for The Skin of Our Teeth, the incomparable Always…Patsy Cline is a fantastic way to end the season. Looking forward to the summer, The Grand is hosting a plethora of community events we hope you’ll enjoy.

Salt Lake Community College and the Grand Theatre have experienced tremendous expansion during the past several years. Our stunning new Center for Arts and Media combines the latest technology and resources in digital arts education with the best teachers in the valley, putting them all in one environment—sharing, creating, inspiring, and collaborating throughout its 130,000 square feet. The stage has been set for student success here at SLCC. Thank you again for joining us at the Grand Theatre; we truly are glad you are here. Please enjoy the show!

A NOTE FROM THE GRAND’S DIRECTOR We’re so excited to be bringing back Always…Patsy Cline! This wonderful show is based on an actual correspondence between Pasty Cline and her friend Louise. It gives a heartwarming and personal glimpse into the life of this legendary singer, whose light was tragically extinguished at such a young age in a fatal plane crash. Featuring all of Patsy’s biggest hits, Always…Patsy Cline is a night of fun filled entertainment for the whole family! It’s long since become a favorite here at The Grand. We couldn’t be more thrilled to reunite our original cast of Erica Hansen, whose portrayal of Patsy Cline is remarkable, and Toni Byrd, whose performance as Louise is sure to leave you in stitches with laughter. I sincerely hope you enjoy this Grand Theatre classic!

We are so proud to call the Grand Theatre the “Community’s Professional Theatre” where we bring local artists, actors, directors, and designers together to help produce the amazing theatre you are about to see. We hope you will join us for our upcoming 2015-2016 Season by becoming a Grand Theatre season ticket holder. Our season will feature Forever Plaid, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, The Last Five Years, Picnic, and The Full Monty, as well as our signature Back Stage At The Grand Concert Series. Season tickets are on sale now! Be sure to ask about the different packages available, so you can build the season subscription that’s just right for you! Stop by our box office during intermission, or call (801) 957-3322.

Now please sit back and enjoy Always…Patsy Cline!

Sincerely,

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 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 and her life is also the subject of the 1985 feature film, Sweet Dreams, starring Jessica Lange.
