The Second City's A CHRISTMAS CAROL: TWIST YOUR DICKENS! Plays Kirk Doulgas Theatre, 11/24-12/30
The Second City's "A Christmas Carol: Twist Your Dickens!" by Peter Gwinn and Bobby Mort, will play Center Theatre Group's Kirk Douglas Theatre, directed by Marc Warzecha in a World Premiere, beginning previews November 24, opening on November 29 and running through December 30, 2012.
With its trademark humor, irreverence and originality, The Second City, in a creative collaboration with CTG, is taking the classic Charles Dickens tale of hope and redemption and giving it a hearty twist. In addition to Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the fat, plucked goose and those glum ghosts, the famous Victorian streets will spring to life with scheming politicians, sunbathing Santas, shoplifting celebrities and hilarious improvs, all performed by a talented group of Second City alums and an ever-changing stable of starry, drop-in special guests.
Previews play November 24-28, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The show opens Thursday, November 29 at 8 p.m. and regular performances, beginning November 30, run Tuesday through Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 6 and 9:30 p.m.; Sunday at 3 and 6:30 p.m. No performance on Mondays. Exception: No performance on Tuesday, December 25.
