The Second City’s A Christmas Carol: Twist Your Dickens, presented by Portland Center Stage thru December 24, is a hilarious send-up (or knock down) of the traditional Charles Dickens’ holiday classic.

We were lucky enough to spend some quality time with Jaime Moyer (not the former Seattle Mariner) who plays “The Ghost of Christmas Present,” “Ruby Santini” and six or seven or eight other characters in the show.
