Alt Theatre Stages Holiday Spoof A CHRISTMAS TWIST Through 12/27

Not your grandma's Christmas tale - a holiday spoof for all!

Peter Michael Marino returns to Buffalo to direct the WNY premiere of the witty, wild and irreverent A Christmas Twist presented by The New Alt Performance Group, playing through December 27, and with a special performance on New Year's Eve.

Twist is a vaudevillian, head-on collision of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and "Oliver Twist." This rapid-paced holiday parody follows poor, orphaned Tiny Twist who learns the ropes of pick pocketing by the conniving, filthy Fagin and Little Artful Annie. Soon, the perennially abused Bob Cratchit and his long-suffering wife Emily, adopt Twist. But, Ebenezer Scrooge's nefarious nephew Mr. Bumble has dastardly plans for Twist, which miserly Scrooge will pay handsomely for. Scrooge is soon visited by gate crashing ghosts to teach him a thing or three about his wicked ways as he discovers that Christmas is about more than gluttony and a stuffed goose.

The shows evening performance dates are: December 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 26, 29 & 30 at 8pm, Matinees: December 19, 26, & 27 at 3pm New Years Eve at 7pm. The Alt Theatre located at 255 Great Arrow Ave., 3rd Floor (Entrance has a blue awning next to McClellan Music).

Tickets are $20 on-line www.alttheatre.com or $25 at the door.
