A Christmas Carol

December 14, 2011
Wednesday | 1 PM & 7 PM

This heartwarming show-of-the-season is performed by Gerald Charles Dickens, the great-great grandson of literary master, Charles Dickens. Gerald, an actor and producer hailing from Oxford, England, will be performing his captivating rendition of this timeless holiday classic. During his energetic one-man show, Dickens brings A Christmas Carol to life. He leaps, he sobs, he laughs...as he entertains...depicting 26 characters of the classic tale, with just a table, wing chair, and hat rack accompanying him on stage. He has created different postures and voices for each character, achieving this so adeptly that the audience has no doubt about “who is who,” so to speak. “It’s a wonderful show—a great family tradition—the best way I know of to kick off the holiday season.”

Five lucky children who find the golden tickets will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. Come unravel the mystery and explore Wonka's secret world.
