Hill Country Christmas Revue

featuring 

Izaak Opatz

December 19 & 20

Get ready for a jolly, toe-tappin’, and heartwarming holiday variety show that celebrates the spirit of the season—Hi-Line style! The Hill Country Christmas Revue is a festive spin on our beloved hometown production, written and performed by the very actors who bring our stories to life, making each show a fresh and merry homegrown experience.

Back for its third year, this holiday edition features brand-new comedy skits, yuletide musical numbers, and cheerful stories inspired by local traditions, winter tales, and the colorful characters who make our community shine. From snowy small-town legends to holly-jolly Hi-Line history, we unwrap it all with plenty of laughs, warm memories, and seasonal charm.

Like many of his favorite songwriters (John Hartford, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy), Izaak Opatz is an ungulate in life’s winter pasture, chewing on and metabolizing disappointment, heartbreak, and the other tough stuff into enjoyable musical carbohydrates. A compulsive metaphorager (and inveterate wordplayboy), Opatz breaks it all down with enzymes of wry humor, thoughtful simile and close observation - a therapeutic process of narrativizing his own life that, almost as a byproduct, turns out savory nuggets of literate, confessional pop. Learn more about Izaak here.
