Cathi Rhodes: News

I Believe …
That a Birth Certificate shows that we were born, A Death Certificate shows that we died, and Pictures show us that we lived!

That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of what they have..

We were truly amazed at the dedication of the audience! They LOVED Patsy's songs and although it began to drizzle toward the end of the show, they yelled for MORE and sat listening in the rain when I asked the soundman if we should 'wrap things up!' THAT'S dedication and I appreciate it very much! Not only were they one of best audiences, our CDs sold in a matter of minutes! I have never seen anything like that! A great big THANK YOU to Cheryl Reinhart for aksing me to be part of a a very special day!

If you haven't seen my photography and creativity on these DVDs, you're missing YOUR special event!

I create heirloom DVDs using YOUR pictures! I add motion plus appropriate background music for a perfect keepsake item or gift. No longer do you have to look at your photos from an old album with cracked pages and yellowed film...now you can watch them on TV! And they're MUCH easier to store!

I have created "Memories In Motion" DVDs of numerous events including vacations, weddings, Christmas, theatrical performaces, birthdays, graduations, retirement parties, educational facilites...you name it...the ideas are endless!

We can discuss numerous ideas and go from there. The price is reasonable too! Contact me at cathi321@yahoo.com.

MEMORIES IN MOTION... Perfect For EVERY Occasion!

I will put an announcement on my front page as soon as they're available and email those of you whose addresses I have. If you are interested in obtaining a CD and are not yet on my mailing list, PLEASE sign the guestbook or get on the list on the front page. Thank you SO much for your patience, and I promise to notify you as soon as possible. I appreciate your dedication.

On March 28, 29 & 30, you will be able to see the show that sold out each night at The Grand Theatre in Elizabeth PA in November 2007!!!

I put together 30 of my favorite Patsy Cline songs and have invited the beautiful and talented Kasey Zemba (American Idol 2nd Round Audition Winner and star of Derry Area's Peter Pan). She will be singing her signature Loretta Lynn tunes and Ellen Myers who portrayed Louise Seger will also make a guest appearance!

Round up your family, friends and neighbors for THREE BIG SHOWS and enjoy singing along with The Ladies!

Tickets are just $10 for everyone, so come early and choose whatever seat you'd like!

See you at the Theater!

If anyone has a 1950s style Pink Ladies satin jacket for sale or donation, would you please contact me? I'd like to have one of my own. Many thanks to Jewel for lending hers to me when I needed it!

I'm also looking for a poodle skirt (med/lg) and size 8 saddle shoes. Can you help?? Many Thanks!!

Following the unprecedented success of two record-breaking initial mountings, this engagement is a new opportunity for The Grand Theatre's audiences to experience a remarkable show that has soared beyond all expectations.

'My Portrait of Patsy' was an overwhelming success at The Grand! If you weren't there, you missed TWO SOLD-OUT evenings of great food, great friends and great music! The professionally created posters, programs and even tickets with my pictures on them were unbelievable! To Kasey Zemba (Loretta Lynn) and Ellen Meyers (Louise Seger), I thank you for bringing your talent and excitement to the audiences. To all those involved in bringing my show to The Grand (especially Lori and Ken & daughters, and to Margaret and Joe) I extend my sincerest THANK YOU. To the wonderful audiences, you were the BEST EVER! All of you made both of these evenings memorable ones for me and I sure hope to see you all again sometime soon. God Bless you all.

Lori wants to produce an evening of dinner and song, featuring Cathi as Patsy Cline. A second evening will feature Glitzando....we'll let you know more as SOON as we get the dates set!!

Cabaret Night with Carol Curtis and Friends: This promises to be an enjoyable evening with 8 notable performers...including Cathi Rhodes, Diane Winogrodzki, Ellen Myers, Cindy Baltzer and Craig Niezelski, among others. Classssssss.......

The 2007 seasons' concert series is dubbed "The Best of..." and Patsy & Louise are making their 3rd BIG return to our stage on June 8, 9 and 10. This is our BIGGEST and BEST returning show to date! Do NOT miss this show if you haven't already seen it....are there REALLY folks around these parts that HAVEN'T??? I have two words of advice---No excuses! Call (724) 238-6514 for reservations!! If you want a seat, CALL NOW! C'mon, Hoss...spring 10 bucks for an enjoyable evening! "It's the next best thing to actually seeing Patsy live in concert!"

My definition of QUALITY: "Countless, unseen details are often the only difference between mediocre and magnificent!"

This show is magnificent. ENJOY!!

Hi All,
Just wanted to say thanks so much for coming to the benefit for Jake Zufall on March 25th. The folks there appreciated my rendition of Patsy's tunes, and they especially liked my costume. Some folks actually said they thought I sang Patsy's music better than Patsy herself, but since I am such a big fan of her's, I don't think ANYONE could match her voice. We all had such fun, and the food was sooo good! The other talented singers were John 'Earl' Stillwagon, Kourtney Zufall and Stampede (Great young band!) and Eric Harvey, who always makes me smile. Hope to share the stage with all of them again soon! Many thanks to Krissy Zufall who put this whole show together, and to Larry Stillwagon, who is one of the finest firemen I know! Thanx a bunch!

I've been invited as a guest on Marty Schiff's radio show, "State Theatre Radio Hour" on Monday, August 28 at 5 pm. Please tune in...you will hear me singing my favorite Patsy Cline hits!

Well folks, it looks as though our audiences have won --- again! They've requested that we bring back our recent run of "ROUTE 66" to the Ligonier Theater!! We will be producing this show on March 16, 17 & 18 of 2007. Reservations ($10) can be made by calling (724) 238-6514. Please be sure to come see our talented actors, singers, dancers and SPOONERS perform at the Ligonier Theater. This fabulous show played to well over 700 audience members who enjoyed the show so much, that they asked for us to do it again! Thanks to my entire cast & crew who made this show a huge success...and one we'll never forget! BRAVO! C'mon along for the best ride of your life!

I have been talking to Mr. Marty Schiff, the Executive Director of the State Theater Center for the Arts in Uniontown. He would like us to produce "Always...Patsy Cline" sometime in the near future. We're still in the planning stages, so keep checking back for updates!

This theater is absolutely gorgeous and seats about 1400 poeple! I'll need you in the audience, that's for sure! If you haven't checked it out, you must see it real soon! They do wonderful shows year-round.

Walk across the street to '30 East Main,' a fabulous restaurant. Check out the 'Woodlands Shops' too!

Uniontown is looking a whole lot different than it used to!
