The Second City's "A Christmas Carol: Twist Your Dickens!" opens this Thursday, December 12 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/ Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
Written by Second City alumni Peter Gwinn and Bobby Mort and directed by fellow Second City alum Marc Warzecha, "A Christmas Carol: Twist Your Dickens!" continues through December 29.
The cast is made up of a talented group of Second City performers. Returning to "Twist Your Dickens!" for the second time are Frank Caeti, Amanda Blake Davis and Ron West. Joining them are Ithamar Enriquez, Brendan Jennings, Joe Liss and Jaime Moyer. The production changes nightly as this highly honed team of improvisational all-stars will be joined by a surprise celebrity guest and a parade of anonymous revelations of 'misdeeds past' from each performance's audience members.
Created in collaboration with CTG, The Second City's satirical twist on Dickens features Scrooge, the Cratchits and all the time-traveling ghosts normally found in this uplifting holiday fare. "Twist Your Dickens!" also breathes new life into the classic tale of hope and redemption with audience-interactive improvisations and a festive party atmosphere in the lobby – complete with the cocktails such as Tiny Timtinis and Scroogedrivers to prime the pump for next year's misdeeds.
The Second City specializes in sketch comedy and improvisation and has delighted audiences for over 50 years.
