The phones just didn’t stop ringing after First Impressions Theatre’s production of Always…Patsy Cline last May, so the musical is now being remounted for seven performances this Nov. 10-19. Always…Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. It is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan who befriended the star until her death. Complete with a live band, down-home country humour and true emotion, it includes many of Patsy’s unforgettable hits such as “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Walking After Midnight” – 27 songs in all. Created by Ted Swindley and directed by Claude A. Giroux, with music direction by Gordon Roberts and Leigh Richards Stewart. Shows run Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. Tickets: $20 each at firstimpressionstheatre.com or by calling 604-929-9456.

• Stories for Children: Groups of colourful blown-glass balloons hang from the gallery’s ceiling, in the exhibition Stories for Children by artist Hope Forstenzer. Each balloon is sandblasted with an image depicting the darkest characters from children’s stories and legends. Forstenzer has long been fascinated with classic children’s tales and their often sinister undertones. The balloons are illuminated from within, creating a playful but unsettling juxtaposition between light and dark, joy and terror. Artist talk: Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Exhibition closes Nov. 19.
• Winter Gift Gallery, Nov. 23 – Dec. 24: Help support the arts in our community and cross names off your Christmas list by browsing a unique selection of gifts handmade by local artists – from scarves to paintings and jewelry to pottery – during the free exhibition. Meet the artists and enjoy homemade holiday baking at the reception, Sunday, Nov. 27, 2-4 p.m.
• Volunteers are needed to open the gallery and gift shop during theatre performance intermissions. Volunteers see the show free.
