‘Family Christmas’ comes to Dixon

Show inspired by 'White Christmas'

DIXON – Cabaret-style musicians Mark and Gretch Hladish and Jo Hodgins are bringing “A Family Christmas” to the Historic Dixon Theatre at 7 p.m. Nov. 23.

The show, inspired by the seminal 1954 film “White Christmas,” features favorite holiday songs, hymns and carols, as well as humorous and heartwarming stories.

“We tell people it’s traditional. We tell people it’s filled with the memories we have of our Christmases gone by,” said Mark Hladish. “But really, everyone has a different idea of ‘traditional,’ so we tell people... it’s filled with the most memorable and well-loved Christmas music.”
