Our Valued Volunteers

Friends of the Dixie Logo

Our Valued Volunteers: The Dixie Theatre could not operate without the strong group of volunteers who donate their time and energies to help keep the reality of live theatre alive in our community. Some we would like to mention are:

Our 2012 Professional Season has come to an end.

  • Our season has come to a close
    Somewhat sadly, we bid goodbye to our 2012 Professional Season as it fades into our rear-view mirror.  There were plenty of memorable moments, though and we will fondly recall 2012 as a very good year for the Dixie.  We had a lot of strong solid hits and for the most part we were thrilled with the artists, the shows, and the performances.

    Singling any out for mention would be hard as so many of them were so darn delightful and mentioning one or two while leaving out one or two would seem like a slight.

    Some of our performers have already expressed an interest in returning, some before our next full season so we are excited about those prospects and will bring you news of any bookings as soon as we make them.

    We want to thank each and every single person who purchased tickets to the shows this season and helped us support our dream of providing a professional live theatre venue here on the Forgotten Coast.  We will continue to do everything we can to keep that dream alive and well and look forward to seeing you and your smiles back here at The Dixie as soon as possible.

    We would like to also thank all of our team of dedicated and hard-working volunteers, without whom The Show Would -- Not -- Go On.

    Big thanks to all.  We hope to see you all again real soon.
