Waynesboro, VA - The Wayne Theatre is honored to welcome back Gerald Dickens, great-great grandson of literary legend Charles Dickens, for a special one-man performance of A Christmas Carol. This matinee event will take place on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., offering audiences a memorable and heartwarming way to celebrate the holiday season.
A highlight of the Wayne Theatre’s holiday programming, Gerald Dickens’ performance has become a beloved tradition in the Shenandoah Valley. With theatrical flair and masterful storytelling, Dickens brings to life more than 20 characters from his ancestor’s timeless tale, delivering a performance that is at once powerful, humorous, and deeply moving.
Using only a simple set, a few props, and his extraordinary talent, Dickens transforms the stage into Victorian London, drawing audiences into the world of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and many more unforgettable characters.
Gerald Dickens has performed A Christmas Carol for audiences across the United States and the United Kingdom, earning acclaim for his authentic connection to the material and his ability to both entertain and inspire. Each performance is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Charles Dickens and the universal messages of compassion, redemption, and hope found within the story.
This one-day-only engagement offers a rare opportunity to experience A Christmas Carol as it was meant to be shared...through the voice and vision of a true Dickens.
Tickets for the December 4 performance will be available at www.waynetheatre.org or by calling the Wayne Theatre Box Office at 540.943.9999. Early ticket purchases are encouraged, as this event is expected to sell out.
