USCB Center for the Arts presents “Always …. Patsy Cline” performed by the Beaufort Theater Company October 7-15, 2011
Beaufort, SC- The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts is pleased to present “Always…Patsy Cline” performed by the Beaufort Theater Company on October 7th-9th and 14th-15th. The musical is based on a true story about the friendship between Patsy, who sang some of the most recognizable songs in American music history, and a devoted fan, Louise Seger. Louise (played by Gail Westerfield) narrates the play from letters that Cline wrote to her after they met in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961. Their correspondence continued until the singer’s tragic death in a plane crash in 1963. Throughout the show, Patsy (played by Maggy Norden) sings 27 songs with a live band including, “I Fall to Pieces,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Crazy,” to name a few. According to Bonnie Hargrove, producer of the show, “The universal appeal of ‘Always…Patsy Cline’ is one of the reasons it was selected for the USCB Center
