Directed by Producing Artistic Director Karen Lund, this musical celebration of friendship and song opens on May 16 and runs through June 14, 2025, in Taproot’s Jewell Mainstage Theatre.
Created and originally directed by Ted Swindley, Always… Patsy Cline is based on a true story. Journey through the joy and heartbreak of Patsy Cline’s groundbreaking career through her unlikely friendship with her biggest fan.
