“FALL TO PIECES” WITH AUDIENCE FAVORITE ALWAYS… PATSY CLINE AT THEATER AT MONMOUTH
Monmouth, Maine – Theater at Monmouth will present the musical Always… Patsy Cline for their fall show in September. Created and Originally Directed by Ted Swindley, this heartfelt celebration, full of emotion and down-home country humor, is sure to leave you tapping your toes to songs you know and love! Featuring hits such as “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall to Pieces,” and “Crazy,” Always… Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Cline’s friendship with her biggest fan, Louise Seger. After Cline’s tragic and untimely death, Louise reminisces on their happenstance friendship, her love for the singer, and the letters they wrote one another over the years, which Patsy consistently signed “Love Always… Patsy Cline”. Be sure to join us for this “Crazy” good time Thursday, September 12th through Sunday, September 22nd including matinee and evening performances both weekdays and weekends.
Directed by Adam P. Blais and Music Direction by Courtney Babbidge, Always… Patsy Cline features Susan Haefner as Louise Seger and Hope Elizabeth Schafer as Patsy Cline. While both women will be making their Theater at Monmouth debuts, neither are strangers to the big demands the show holds. Haefner has appeared previously on Broadway in State Fair, 42nd Street, and understudying Sutton Foster in the role of Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie. She has also appeared in many National Tours and at Regional Theaters across the country. Schafer is a rising star, having played the role of Patsy in other productions of the show. She will be taking a small hiatus from her role as Mama Ogre/Wicked Witch in the National Tour of Shrek the Musical to step back into Patsy’s boots in Monmouth.
Additional Production Credits include Set and Lighting Design by Jim Alexander, Costume Design by Michelle Handley, Wardrobe Supervision by Erika Gordon, Stage Management by Cameron Sarchi*, Production Assistance by Llyn Sadhbh Thomas, and Production Management by Daniel B.
