James Armstrong Theater at Torrance Cultural Arts Center (Torrance, CA)

Take a wild journey through the vibrant colors, tacky design and gloriously kitschy aesthetics of holidays in ’50s and ’60s Southern California with a unique live slideshow and comedy performance from retro Americana expert Charles Phoenix. Hailed as “The Kodachrome King” by the L.A. Weekly, Phoenix is a humorist, chef, author and love of America’s mid-century pop culture. In this special holiday edition of Southern Californialand, Phoenix supercharges the classic living-room slideshow by celebrating how we decorated, dressed up, dined and drank with his signature abundant joy, clever wit and keen eye for odd-ball detail, turning ordinary images of SoCal life into a laugh-out-loud roast and toast to local kitsch.
