• 2 3, 4*  A Christmas Twist by The Illegitimate Players, directed by Mary Fernandez-Sierra.   8PM *except 4th 2PM
A ridiculous blend of two works by Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist.  Added to the familiar parable of Bob Cratchit, Ebenezer, and his spirits is Fagin, Mr. Bumble, and Tiny Twist, a gangly orphan whose crutch keeps getting stuck in floor cracks.  Irreverent and inspired, this spoof mocks the silly sentimentality and commercialism sometimes found in our modern holiday, while reminding us of the true Christmas spirit.  Recommended for ages 13 and up
