CSC Presents: Always- Patsy Cline
More than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963; it is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. Complete with down home country humor, true emotion, and even some audience participation, this musical includes many of Patsy's unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking After Midnight - 27 songs in all.
