Home for the Holidays

American Folklore Theatre (AFT) has announced the line-up for its annual holiday concert show at the Old Gibraltar Town Hall. Now in its eighth incarnation, “Home for the Holidays with AFT” will feature two well-known wedded duos.

Katie Dahl and Rich Higdon along with Molly Rhode and Chase Stoeger team up to create a cozy couples quartet for this year’s holiday show. The all-new concert for 2014 will play for five performances from Dec. 26 – 31.

Wisconsin singer-songwriter Dahl made her first appearance on the AFT stage in the 2009 production Sunsets and S’mores. She is also a playwright whose musical Victory Farm premiered at AFT to high acclaim in 2012.

Higdon is a multi-instrumentalist who has shared the stage with his new wife, Katie Dahl, all across the country playing string bass, washboard, spoons, jug and ukulele. As an actor, he worked extensively with Paul Sills, pioneer of Story Theatre.

Rhode is a regular performer at American Folklore Theatre, appearing with her family in last winter’s Home for the Holidays and this year in Strings Attached. She also directed AFT’s 2014 revival of Packer Fans from Outer Space.

This is Stoeger’s eighth season with AFT. He had the pleasure to perform with the Rhode family for Home for the Holidays last winter. He also appeared this year in Strings Attached and Packer Fans from Outer Space.

Performances are scheduled for 7 pm on Dec. 26 and 4 pm on Dec. 27, 29, 30 and 31. Tickets are $22 for adults and $13 for children. Advance tickets are available by calling 920.854.6117, online at FolkloreTheatre.com, or by stopping in the AFT office, which is located at the Green Gables Shops in north Ephraim. All seats are general admission. Any remaining tickets will be sold at Gibraltar Town Hall beginning 45 minutes before each performance.
