ABOUT THE THEATER

Music Theatre of Connecticut continues its 40th season with ALWAYS PATSY CLINE. MTC is located in a beautiful theatre center in Norwalk, CT, and the company has won numerous Best awards both BroadwayWorld and Connecticut Critics' Circle Awards, including the prestigious Killen Award for Outstanding Contribution to Professional Theatre, joining Long Wharf, Hartford Stage and the Westport Playhouse.

SYNOPSIS

Having first heard Cline on the Arthur Godfrey Show in 1957, Louise Seger, a Houston housewife, became an immediate and avid fan of Cline's and she constantly hounded the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio. In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline spending the night at Seger's house--a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. The relationship, which began as fan worship evolved into one of mutual respect. It is the kind of relationship that many fans would like to have with their heroes.

SEEKING

PATSY CLINE, 35 - 40: A gifted vocalist with a rich, powerful alto/contralto belt and strong mix; must comfortably carry the score and embody Patsy's warmth, wit, and quiet strength. Captures the essence and vocal style of the iconic country star without impersonation. Confident, charismatic, grounded, with emotional depth and ease in storytelling through song.

LOUISE SEGER, 30s-40s: Excellent comic timing and dramatic range. Big-hearted, brash, and charmingly direct; serves as narrator and emotional anchor of the piece. Must sustain high energy, connect easily with an audience, and create a deeply authentic portrayal of a devoted fan whose friendship changes both women's lives. Strong Texas accent required. Singing ability helpful but role is primarily text-driven.
