SHOW/CAST DESCRIPTIONS

* Patsy Cline: full voiced country Alto (D3-Eb5). Best known for her rich tone, emotionally expressive and bold voice. A country music industry pioneer. Must be a strong singer. 

* Louise Seger: Mezzo, with a country flare, (A3-F5). A Houston housewife who became a genuine friend to Patsy Cline. Wisecracking, vivacious, and funny. Looking for a strong actress and singer. 

COMPENSATION

A modest stipend will be provided.
