Krista Brown-Trogdon as Patsy Cline in 2006 The Aracoma Story, Inc. is proud to announce its upcoming production of "Always, Patsy Cline." The show has been a fan favorite in this part of the coalfields ever since Melissa R. Frye and Krista Brown-Trogdon brought it to life for the very first time in 2006. Krista portrayed the legendary songstress, Patsy Cline while Melissa led the audience on a tour of Patsy's life as fan-turned-friend, Louise Seger. Crowds sang along and danced in their seats-even during rain storms!  But they still wanted more! They got it four years later when Melissa and Krista reprised their roles for another season of Patsy in 2010. The friends shared a chemistry that simply created a magic on the stage.  They made sense together and to fans, their names became synonymous with the show.
