Pure joy. Designing this production was pure joy from start to finish. I was thrilled to be offered this production. I have been crazy about Patsy Cline forever. In Always…Patsy Cline, the script requires 10 separate looks for Patsy. We built 5 of them in the PSU costume shop. 1 faculty member and 3 students each built one of Patsy’s looks. A gifted undergrad received her first professional credit by making Patsy’s black and white shirtwaist dress. Because there were so many costumes I built Patsy’s white finale dress. Many hours of work, but I worked with joy and passion. A wonderful experience.

Penn Staters Create Costumes for Regional Production of ‘Always... Patsy Cline’

“Richard St. Clair, longtime head of Penn State’s costume design program, had been hired to design the costumes. He immediately brought in some students to build them — and add a professional credit to their résumés.“
Delaware Theatre Company presents Ted Swindley’s Always... Patsy Cline
(broadstreetreview.com) “Patsy’s wardrobe, designed by Richard St. Clair, is simply outstanding. While the band and Walton are well-costumed, Lewis-Michelson is dressed in stunningly accurate and beautifully constructed period garments, including a Western-style outfit that was (surprisingly) made in Amsterdam and is authentic enough to grace the Opry stage.”
