Due to Popular Demand TWIST YOUR DICKENS Adds Four Performances

Due to popular demand, The Kennedy Center has announced the addition of four extra performances to the Kennedy Center's debut run of The Second City's irreverent and interactive seasonal satire, Twist Your Dickens. Tickets are now on sale for newly added 3p.m. matinees on December 21, 22, 28, and 29. Twist Your Dickens performances take place in the Theater Lab from December 9-31, 2016.

In this wicked parody of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, Scrooge, Tiny Tim, three ridiculous ghosts, and a cast of The Second City's funniest members take Theater Lab by storm with daring improve, a host of guest celebs, and new surprises. Holiday hilarity ensues as a timeless tale is told through the legendary troupe's trademark improvisation and sketch performance.

The Second City's Twist Your Dickens is written by former The Colbert Report writers Peter Gwinn and Bobby Mort and directed by Marc Warzecha.

The cast includes The Second City alumni Frank Caeti (MADtv, Unelectable You) and Jamie Moyer (Modern Family, Parks and Recreation), as well as Washington, D.C. favorites Aaron Bliden, Anne Bowles, John Lescault, Tia Shearer, and Jamie Smithson.
