Cameo Theatre

Time: 8 p.m.

1123 E. Commerce Street, San Antonio, TX

Always...Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger. Having first heard Cline on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan of Cline's. In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. The show runs through June 19.
