Always Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. The show at the Arts Center of Cannon County is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger.
One day a voice from the television screen spoke to her. Louise Seger was hooked. Making a special trip to a honky-tonk bar in Houston, Texas, Louise met her idol, Patsy Cline. Here was a woman that gave her soul a voice. Over a pot of strong coffee, a friendship began that would last until Patsy's untimely death. Through letters and visits, the two share the homespun stories of laughter and heartache that brought together a housewife and a legendary country singer.
