Northern Sky Announces “Home for the Holidays” Show Dates

Door County’s award-winning Northern Sky Theater has announced the line-up for its annual holiday concert show at the Old Gibraltar Town Hall. Now in its ninth incarnation, “Home for the Holidays” will feature the first-ever combination of three talented performers: Doc Heide, Amy Chaffee, and Craig Konowalski. The all-new concert for 2015 will play for five performances from Dec. 26 – 31.

This trio has been good friends for decades, ever since their early association with Northern Sky’s predecessor troupe the Heritage Ensemble. This merry band will perform gorgeous folk carols, original songs, contemporary arrangements of holiday classics, all with plenty of wit.

Northern Sky Theater co-founder Doc Heide has performed professionally in Door County for more than four decades. Among the 20 shows he has co-authored are the hit musicals Belgians in Heaven, Packer Fans from Outer Space, and Guys & Does. A Kerrville New Folk Finalist, Doc has recorded four CDs including Christmas in Door County (with Eric Lewis).
