KCPT’s 2022-2023 Season kicks off with Always, Patsy Cline by Ted Swindley, based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger. The show is a musical tribute to the legendary country singer, complete with down-home country humor, true emotion, and even some audience participation. Always…Patsy Cline has enjoyed great success throughout the United States, including a successful run off-Broadway. Always…Patsy Cline has also been enjoyed internationally by audiences in Canada, the UK, and Australia and it all comes to Port Townsend.
Always, Patsy Cline stars PT’s own singer-songwriter, Aba Kiser, as Patsy Cline and Michelle Hensel as Louise Seger. Kiser has toured nationally as back-up for the likes of Eleanor Murray and Ings. Veteran KCPT performer, Hensel, has previously appeared in Men on Boats and Enemy of the People among others. The show is directed by Denise Winter, with Musical Direction by Linda Dowdell, who leads a six-piece band featuring Dowdell, Bud Brewer, Maggie Jo Chambers, Robert Bulkley, Bobbi Nikles, and Angie Tabor.
