Naomi Morrison stars in ‘Always Patsy Cline’

Performances of “Always Patsy Cline” starring local artist Naomi Morrison scheduled for Jan. 17 and 18 at the Arts Center of Cannon County have sold out, causing the show to be offered again Jan. 24 and Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

This musical comedy is based on a true story that celebrates the life and time of the legendary country music star. Written and originally directed by Ted Swindley, it is set in the late 1950s when Patsy Cline’s musical career was at its peak. The role of Cline will be played by Morrison, a Viola resident and Grand Ole Opry hopeful. She sings 26 songs, along with Debera Obenchain as her co-star.

This is a story about two women, Cline and Louise Seger, who meet under the strangest of circumstances and become friends during the last two years of the entertainer’s life.
