Lees-McRae Summer Theatre presents Always… Patsy Cline July 14–20
Lees-McRae continues the 31st Summer Theatre season with the musical Always… Patsy Cline. The production will be performed on July 14-16 and 19 at 7 p.m. and July 16, 17 and 20 at 2 p.m.
Always… Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston, Texas housewife Louise Seger. Patsy pays a surprise visit to Seger and, as they talk, Patsy floats in and out of Seger’s kitchen to reenact her great moments on the stage. And of course, she will sing – Anytime, Walkin’ After Midnight, She’s Got you, Sweet Dreams and the iconic Crazy.
The musical demonstrates how important personal connections can be as Patsy and Louise create an intense friendship by sharing their lives with one another. “It’s an intimate two-person show, and actresses Kim Krege Florio and Erica McGee will make our audiences fall in love with Louise and Patsy,” comments director Dr. Michael Hannah. “They take us back in time to the soundtrack of an earlier era.”
Lees-McRae Summer Theatre is committed to producing quality theatre experiences. The company, including professionals and students training in their craft, serves the high country community as collaborators for the betterment of our area.
