Tickets Are Selling Fast for This Rockin' Show!

Get ready to jingle all the way with Big Band Christmas 2025 – a festive extravaganza filled with swingin’ music and holiday cheer!

Big Band Christmas—Friday, December 12 at the Catherine Hickman Theater.

You’re invited to an unforgettable holiday evening full of swing, sparkle and joy! Join us as Laurie Loyst and her sensational 18-piece big band bring the season to life with “Sounds of the Season” – holiday favorites, big-band swing and plenty of festive energy.

Laurie rocked the Catherine Theater in May with her Broadway Baby Wannabe cabaret show which raised the roof. Now she’s back with plenty of Holiday Spirits for the whole family.

After November 15, tickets go to $45 VIP and $30 GA

When & Where:

– VIP Garden Party begins at 5:00 pm in the outdoor garden: sip hot chocolate or holiday spirits, enjoy carolers and hot hors d’oeuvres.
– Doors open to General Admission at 6:15 pm; concert follows, filled with joyous big-band sound that will get everyone into the holiday spirit.
– Location: Catherine Hickman Theater

Why you should come:
This isn’t just a concert—it’s the ultimate holiday party. From magical garden mingling at dusk to a full big-band show under the lights, Laurie Loyst’s “classy & sassy” style will carry you into the heart of the season.

Act fast—tickets are going quickly!
