Dorothy Black invites you to join her and her family for Christmas Eve at 1222 Oceanfront. The festive evening features all of the Black family’s traditions including an abundance of delicious food, dancing, skits, and the singing of new, original holiday songs mixed with re-imagined carols. And lots of love, because it’s family. The evening may also include a bit of drama because, well, it’s family. But seriously, how much drama can there be on Christmas Eve? 

Named one of the “best plays of 2021” by The San Diego Union Tribune.
