Jacqueline Petroccia (Patsy Cline) and Zoe VonderHaar (Louise Seger), star in the return engagementof this true story of Country music legend PatsyCline and her friendship with Texas housewife Lou-ise Seger.

The production combines down home country hu-mor, heartache and 27 of Patsy Cline’s unforgettable

hits such as “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” and“Sweet Dreams.

has announced the lineup for its 2015 season, whichis called a celebration of diversity, friendship andcommunity:

• Grammy award-winning sensation “SmokeyJoe’s Café,” a rousing homage to classic rock ‘n’ roll,and the celebrated song catalog of Leiber and Stollerkicks off the season. Relive the glory days of rock androll with such pop standards as “Stand By Me,” “Jail-house Rock,” “I’m A Woman,” “Hound Dog” and “OnBroadway.”

• Set sail on the S. S. American with a zany groupof travelers, bound from New York to merry old En-gland in the Broadway classic, “Anything Goes.”

This classic musical comedy from Broadway’s goldenage features such romantic Cole Porter melodies as“I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “It’s Delovely,” “Easy ToLove,” “You’re The Top” and “Anything Goes.”

• Broadway’s recent hit, “The Full Monty,” capsoff the season with its powerful message of family,friendship and community. Six unemployed steel-workers come up with a bold and unconventionalway to make some much-needed cash, after witness-ing their wives go wild for a group of male strippers.
