The musical play, Always. . .
Patsy Cline opens at the Durango
Arts Center,
June 11 and plays every weekend at 8 PM
through September 18. Filled with 27 soul-clutching country hits including Crazy,
I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking after Midnight,
Ted Swindley’s Always Patsy Cline stands as a tribute to the legendary
country singer who died in a plane crash in 1962 at the age of 30. Based on a
true story, the bio-musical revue centers on Patsy’s friendship with Louise
Seger (Mary Ellen Cerroni), a Houston fan who
befriended the star in a Texas
honky-tonk in 1961. The title comes from the closing in all of Patsy’s letters
to Louise: Love Always, Patsy Cline.
Directed by Theresa Carson, DAC’s
production stars Traci Lyn Thomas who has appeared in over 25 Equity
professional productions all over the U.S. She starred as Fantine in the
national tour of Les Miserables and last year delighted area audiences
as Annie in Annie Get Your Gun in Farmington,
NM.
