Asbury Park Theater Company

December 1-10 are the dates for the Asbury Park Theater Company’s production of `Always…Patsy Cline.” Mandy Barnett made the role famous when she portrayed the tragic Patsy Cline—who died at 30 in a plane crash—at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, home of the original Grand Ole Opry. Carter Calvert portrays the late singer now. Sally Struthers will play Patsy’s friend Louise Seger.

According to Artistic Director William Whitefield, “we are so honored to welcome Sally Struthers as Louise Seger, the Texas housewife who befriended Patsy Cline at a local honkytonk early in Cline’s career. We have been itching to get her back to the main stage since she was kind enough to host our 2019  fundraiser.”
