Photo Flash: ALWAYS... PATSY CLINE At Beef And Boards

Always... Patsy Cline is based on the actual friendship the singer had with a fan named Louise Seger. After a chance meeting before Patsy Cline performed at a Houston honky tonk, the two became fast friends and pen pals. Patsy ended each of her letters to Louise by signing "Always... Patsy Cline." These letters are the foundation of this storytelling musical - a tribute to the enduring legacy of Patsy Cline.

New York actress Christine Mild stars in the title role, which she has performed to high acclaim at theatres across the country. She also serves as director for the Beef & Boards production, assisted by Jeff Stockberger. Erin Parker plays the role of Patsy's fan and friend, Louise Seger. Accompanying the actors are: Terry Woods (piano), Tim Kelly (drums), Michael Clark (pedal steel guitar), Jayson Elliott (bass), Sarah Hund (fiddle/acoustic guitar) and Marc Imboden (guitar).
