“Always…Patsy Cline” has enjoyed great success all over the United States, including a successful run off-Broadway. It has been one of the most produced musicals in America according to American Theatre Magazine. 

“Always…Patsy Cline” is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer.  The show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk. 

The musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes many of Patsy's unforgettable hits such as "Crazy," "I Fall to Pieces," "Sweet Dreams." and "Waking After Midnight"…27 songs in all.  The show's title was inspired by Cline's letters to Seger, which were consistently signed "Love ALWAYS... Patsy Cline.”

"Raise the Roof Fundraiser"  When you visit the Bastrop Opera House, you are visiting a piece of Bastrop and Texas history.  Bastrop merchants P. Otto Elzner and S.D. Green agreed to build the Opera House in 1889 at a reported cost of $15,000.  Now 113 year later, more than three times that amount is needed just to repair the roof to preserve this unique piece of history.  The historic Bastrop Opera House has launched an emergency capital campaign to repair the roof. We have a ways to go, but we will get there with your help.  Thank you to all who of you who donated, entertained, volunteered, participated, appreciated, and joined us.  Contributors and Donors Thank You List. Please keep those donations pouring in, so we can stop the rain from pouring in. The Bastrop Opera House is the heart of live theater in Bastrop and needs to be preserved. The funding of a new roof is crucial.  After the incredible heat of last summer, the rain of this new year have pointed out more leaks in the over-twenty-year-old tin roof.  With contraction and expansion the nails have popped out and where there had been tar and sealant along the down spout alleys, cracks have occurred.  Rather than merely patching repeatedly what is there, a complete overhaul needs to be initiated.  Therefore, several fundraising activities have been discussed including using special music programs like the Classic Country Music Show, where the proceeds will be placed in our building fund for a preservation project of this nature. You may send a donations for the "roof restoration project" to the Bastrop Opera House, P.O. Box 691, Bastrop, Texas 78602.  You may also make an online donation of any amount on the Bastrop Opera House site at http://bastropoperahouse.com/sponsorship.htm, or you may donate by clicking this button, and entering how much you'd like to donate. Donations so far are $4,835 toward the $50,000 goal.  THANK YOU!
