LISTEN: "Dixie's Happy Hour" at the Walton Arts Center

Reminded of the days of going out to the theater with friends, Kris Andersson as Dixie Longate suggests having a Zoom hangout with friends before her new show “Dixie’s Happy Hour,” purchasing tickets to the same performance, and then catching up with friends after to see how well they each did in crafting their own cocktails.
