Chicago playwright Doug Armstrong shares memories from 1989 about writing his now
nationally, critically acclaimed holiday theatre comedy A Christmas Twist (a parody of Dickens’ A Christmas
Carol and Oliver Twist). Los Angeles stage and television actors Lauren McCormack and Jen Ray (from the hit
ABC series The Middle) are interviewed about their co-starring roles in the Los Angeles revival of A
Christmas Twist at the Victory Theatre Center directed by State of the Arts’ own Paul Stroili who also
co-stars in the production. The State of the Arts/Breakdown Services Sweepstakes claims another weekly
winner. McCormack and Ray recall embarrassing career moments.
