Hosted by the ever-charming Bryan Dupuis, this one-of-a-kind variety show blends the clever comedy of Saturday Night Live with the heartfelt storytelling of A Prairie Home Companion — all while giving back to the local charities that make Central Virginia shine a little brighter all season long.

“Each show we partner with an organization doing good in our community,” says host Bryan Dupuis. “It’s family-friendly and highlights the best of what we have happening right here in our area.”
This year’s Christmas show shines a spotlight on Jacob’s Chance, a local nonprofit enriching lives by empowering individuals ages 5–40 with disabilities through inclusive programs that nurture confidence, creativity, and connection. Every ticket sold and laugh shared helps amplify their incredible work — proving that giving back can be as joyful as it is meaningful.
✨ A Night Full of Heart and Hometown Talent
The stage will come alive with a lineup as warm and welcoming as the season itself. The evening kicks off with the toe-tapping harmonies of Nothing Too Crazy, a Mechanicsville-based acoustic quartet whose effortless blend of voices and instruments feels like coming home to your favorite song.
Singer-songwriter Logan Miller, host of itsnowstreaming, will take the stage next with melodies that stir both laughter and reflection — the kind of tunes that make you smile before you realize you’re humming along.
The Glen Allen High School Select Ensemble brings youthful joy and incredible talent, filling the theater with bright voices and big holiday spirit. And just when you think the night couldn’t get more delightful, the COTU Players sweep in with comedy sketches and storytelling that will have you laughing until your cheeks hurt.
And that’s just the beginning — every Wish You Were Here performance holds a few surprises up its festive sleeve.
