*ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE*
*Extends Run at Actors’ Summit*


Actors’ Summit, Akron’s professional theater, announces that the four week
run
of *ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE,* based on a true story and written by Ted
Swindley, has
been extended by two weeks.

 The show opened Friday night, May 29. *ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE*  is now
scheduled to perform through Sunday, July 5.  The added performances will
be given Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2 PM, and
take place at Greystone Hall, in downtown Akron.  The show is appropriate
families.

“With sold out and nearly sold out performances, with the raves of both
critics
and audience members, we just didn’t want to let ‘Patsy’ go,” said MaryJo
Alexander,
director of the production and Artistic Co-Director of Actors’ Summit.

*The Play*

Over a pot of strong coffee, two women chat about their common concerns.
When one of them, Patsy Cline finally left for Dallas, the two women had
exchanged
addresses and telephone numbers. Seger never expected to hear from Cline
again, but
soon after she left, Seger received the first of many letters and phone
calls from Cline.
The play focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when
Seger hears of Cline's death in a plane crash. Seger supplies a narrative
while Cline
sings the songs that made her famous --
*Anytime, Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got *
*You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy*--to name a few.

The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember
Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an
idea of what
seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.

*Performers:*

The show features *Jennifer Browning* as Patsy Cline, *Chanda Porter* as
Louise Serger, with musical direction by *JT Buck*. *Alex Briski *stage
