The true story of a country music legend will unfold next week at the Averitt Center for the Arts with the upcoming presentation of “Love Always … Patsy Cline.” Directed locally by Helen Rosengart, the play was created and originally directed by Ted Swindley and is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan. Known for timeless hits such as “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Walking After Midnight,” Cline died tragically at age 30 in a 1968 plane crash.
