Gerald Dickens was back in Riverside for the first time since 2017. The RDF had two teas with Gerald. Gerald greeted each patron at the door.  Gerald’s performance of “Dickens is Coming” and “The Queen and Dickens” were wonderful. All the audience had great questions during the Q&A sessions. The Evening Performance of ” A Christmas Carol ” was Gerald at his best. The performance of all 26 characters is amazing. Everyone knows the story by heart. Gerald acting talent brings each character to life.  During the Q&A session Gerald shared some of his performance techniques. It was a very memorable evening. It was also great seeing many Festival founders at the performances. If you missed it you will have to wait until next year to see Gerald. You can follow Gerald’s American tour on his blog at
