Our Volunteer of the Month for July is Bill Pirkey for all his behind the scenes help! For going on two years, Bill has helped us with for cleanup, strike, moving (Jenni lets him use her truck), wherever we need him, there he is! Bill says he enjoys volunteering with Theatre Alliance because we are "a theatre with a "family" feel, willing to do shows other theatres shy away from."

Bill was born in New Jersey, and met Jenni in Oklahoma at his first duty station in the Air Force. He completed a 20-year military career in IT, and after a few short post-AF stints, finally landed a job at LabCorp in Burlington, and moved to NC four years ago. He and Jenni have been married 27 years. Perhaps not coincidentally that is also the same length of time Bill has been involved with theatre! We'll have to ask him 🙂

Bill enjoys the technical aspect of theatre and has worked in multiple tech roles running sound, lights, as backstage crew and set building, video-recording, production manager, and stage manager. Mostly Bill loves supporting Jenni with her theatre passion. They also like to take vacations, and are now hooked on Disney! ... See MoreSee Less

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 and she constantly hounded the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio.

In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was travelling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline spending the night at Seger's house - a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a 'plane crash in 1963.

The relationship, which began as fan worship, evolved into one of mutual respect. It is the kind of relationship that many fans would like to have with their heroes.

Over a pot of strong coffee, the two women chatted about their common concerns. When Cline finally left for Dallas, her next job, the two women had exchanged addresses and telephone numbers. Seger never expected to hear from Cline again, but soon after she left, Seger received the first of many letters and phone calls from Cline. The pen-pal relationship provides much of the plot of the show.

The play focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Seger hears of Cline's death in a 'plane crash. Seger supplies a narrative while Cline floats in and out of the set singing tunes that made her famous - "Anytime", "Walkin' After Midnight", "She's Got You", "Sweet Dreams", and "Crazy" to name a few.

The show combines humour, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.
