Always…Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to a legendary country singer, the show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger with correspondence between them that continued until Cline’s death. This production includes many of Patsy’s unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, and Walking After Midnight…27 songs in all. The show’s title was inspired by Cline’s letters to Seger, which were consistently signed, “Love ALWAYS…Patsy Cline.”

Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov May 5 - 15
"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's this day-to-day living that wears you out." by Anton Chekhov
A tragicomedy masterpiece of thwarted desire. A family estate is brought to the brink of ruin following the arrival of an ailing professor and his exquisitely beautiful wife. Uncle Vanya is a captivating exploration of the human condition, and a wickedly comic romance immersed in unrequited love and extraordinary tenderness.
Presented in the Mary K. Weiss Black Box.

Rave Reviews for Man of La Mancha! I saw Man of La Mancha last evening, and it was brilliant! Everything about it, from the acting to the voices to the stage set was truly great. Karen Terra
All that I can say is that I have seen Man of La Mancha with all star casts previously, and this production was better. The orchestra, too, deserves great credit. Congratulations on a wonderful show. Stan Trachtenberg
...this sets a new standard for theatre on that stage - everything was first class - we were blown away - it was as if we hadn't seen it before - literally emotionally spent - and it's a musical - after speaking with the crowd, including some of our board and donors, all of whom were equally affected, we wandered out in a daze. It dawned upon me as we were driving home, that aside from standing up and bravoing our brains out, we never personally spoke with the cast. Tracy, could you pass this on to the magnificent actors - every one of them. Wow! David Kornblum and Nancy McCarthy
I was blown away. Man of La Mancha was sensational. A few of the underwriters were there tonight and I believe that they and all the audience were in awe of the set, choreography, costumes, music, songs and onstage talent. Congratulations to John and all who make the production possible. Charlie Ross TERRY IS A BETTER DON QUIXOTE THAN PETER O'TOOLE!! AND THERE IS NO CONTEST BETWEEN SOPHIA LOREN AND KATIE DEAL...DEAL WINS, HANDS DOWN! Great job, everyone! Jade Walsh
Just came home from the Friday performance.... Fabulous!! It was just beautifully cast and I did not see a performance that was was not well done. Musically blended they were dynamite. Technically I would hold this with the best regional theaters (say the Guthrie, Williamstown or Paper Mill) and I think that set would be right at home on Broadway. Most dramatic and atmospheric lighting I have seen here to date. Loved the glow shining through the stones -- wonderfully effect. Susan Brooks
