For those of you looking for another year of quality and professional New England theater, The Cape Playhouse is set to continue its 2022 summer season with its upcoming production of ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE, which begins its run on July 6th.

Creative Cauldron is revving up for our 20th theatrical season with a summer celebrating all things musical theater.

What did our critic think of ALWAYS....PATSY CLINE at The Weekend Theater? She thought the talent in this show is phenomenal and so funny that there were tears.

James A. Rocco worked for a dozen years at The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, producing, presenting, and administering major stage productions. He is also an Award-Winning director, writer, and singer who created Songbook Live, a series of 'edutainment' concerts that chart the evolution of popular music and its effect on contemporary culture. 

From breathtaking contemporary dance to internationally acclaimed musicians, a rollicking celebration of Patsy Cline to a hit musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, theLesher Center for the Arts will present a remarkable year of arts and cultural offerings for Bay Area arts lovers.

Gretna Theatre, Lebanon County's only professional theatre, opens their 2022 Season by taking you to country music heaven in Honky Tonk Angels. Written by Ted Swindley, creator of Always… Patsy Cline, and featuring 30 classic country hits, Honky Tonk Angels is sure to be a funny, entertaining, foot-stomping good time!

Plays by local high school seniors, Alexandra Askew, Kaleigh Medlow, and Pearl Reagler have been chosen by Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. for its 2022 Student Playwright Festival.

From May 28 through Sept. 17, Creede Repertory Theatre (CRT) will present its 57th season, welcoming audiences back with a return to fully live, indoor performances, audience enrichment opportunities and thriving education programs.

One of the best-loved names in country music is the subject of this funny and touching tribute. The musical is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in 1961 and continued a unique pen-pal relationship with Cline through-out her life.

Featuring audience favorite shows as well as two Michigan Premieres, Meadow Brook Theatre's 2022-2023 season has something for everyone!

In their years of friendship and correspondence, country music star Patsy Cline and her fan-turned-confidante Louise Seger became close as sisters. In Muskegon Civic Theatre's production of the two-character musical 'Always ... Patsy Cline,' they really are.

THE PRODUCERS, the first post-lockdown Desert Theatreworks (DTW) show, is perfect to welcome eager audiences back - a true winner. Ron and Lance Phillips, the married couple that operates DTW, took the opportunity of the hiatus to completely rework the Indio Performing Arts Center, adding a new 250-seat main stage for musicals. As most people know, the Mel Brooks show is loaded with bad taste, but is hilarious nonetheless.
