Dixie Theatre Professional Season
A Nice Family Gathering ~~ This play won the 2000 Rochester Playwright Festival for Phil Olson. This is a story about a man who loved his wife so much, he almost told her. It's Thanksgiving Day and the first family gathering at the Lundeen household since the Patriarch died. At the gathering, Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission: to tell his wife he loved her, something he neglected to tell her while he was alive. After all, they were only married for 41 years. The problem is, she can't hear or see him. Many past Dixie favorites return to bring this outstanding play to life. The cast includes Cleo Holladay, Gary Lee Smith, David Caldwell, Judy Chesnutt, Dixie Partington, David Poirier, and Dixie newcomer Zach Kleinsmith. Dorothy Marie Robinson is back to direct this superb comedy.

The
Forgotten Coast of Florida lies along the Panhandle. It is bounded on the
West by Mexico Beach, St. Joe Beach and Port St. Joe. Going East you come to
Simmons Bayou, Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, and The City of Apalachicola on the banks
of the Apalachicola River. Continuing east you come to Eastpoint, St. George Island,
Carrabelle, Lanark Village, St. James Island, St. Teresa Island, and Alligator Point
in Franklin County, FL. As you cross the Ochlockonee River on Highway 98 you enter
Wakulla County, FL and Ochlockonee Bay, Mashes Sands, Panacea, Live Oak Island, Shell Point
and St. Marks. The St. Marks Lighthouse and nature preserve is the easternmost place on the
Forgotten Coast. Each area is different, and all are uncrowded Natural
Wonders.
