Wendy Haley will direct the show, which runs April 17 through May 3, 2009 (Thursdays through Sundays) on the main stage. 

Auditions will consist of readings from the script as well as singing. Those auditioning should choose 16 bars of music and bring sheet music or a CD without vocals to sing along to.  It is best to sing a song in a country-music style and it is not necessary to sing a Patsy Cline song.

The Lake Worth Playhouse is a not-for-profit community theatre. Actors are not paid for appearing in Lake Worth Playhouse productions.

The Playhouse is seeking actors to play the following roles:

• Patsy Cline, the legendary country singer
• Louise Seger, a Texas divorcee and fan of Patsy Cline

The show is a musical tribute to Patsy Cline and is based on the true story of her friendship with Houston housewife, Louise Seger.  Having first heard Patsy on the Arthur Godfrey Show in 1957, Louise became an avid fan. When the great Patsy Cline gave a show in Houston, the two women met and struck up a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.  As seen through Louise's eyes, the show offers fans - both old and new - a chance to see the American original and dazzling star that was Patsy Cline. All the great songs are featured, including: I Fall To Pieces, Crazy, Walking After Midnight, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Your Cheatin' Heart, Stupid Cupid and many, many more.
