Slide Into the Holidays with Charles Phoenix at the Newhall Family Theatre

Looking for something different to do for the holidays? Have we got the show for you!
For the first time ever, the King of Retro CHARLES PHOENIX will be presenting his popular “Holidayland” show in the Santa Clarita Valley!
Hosted by Raising the Curtain Foundation, the show will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 8, at the Newhall Family Theatre, 24607 Walnut Street in Newhall. Tickets are only $25 and are available at www.raisingthecurtainfoundation.org.
With his keen expertise, unbridled enthusiasm, and eagle-eye for oddball detail, Phoenix super-charges the classic living room slide show into a laugh-out-loud extravaganza of mid-century merriment, fun-filled storytelling, and festive seasonal traditions.
Lavishing commentary on vintage Kodachrome slides, Charles reveals the wondrous ways we decorated, dressed, dined, and drank for the holidays in the 1950s & 60s. He also shares his eye-popping edible party centerpieces and “best of” guide to local holiday attractions. This crazy colorful kaleidoscope of fun and festivities is sure to get you in the mood for the holidays like never before.
Known as a performer, author, explorer and collector who celebrates classic and kitschy American life and style, Charles Phoenix is a legend in his own time. Along with his slide shows, he is known for his classic car “Joyride” videos, colorful coffee table books and fun field trip tours. He is also a food crafter and has created test-kitchen videos of impossible items like the “Cherpumple,” which involves whole cherry, apple, and pumpkin pies all baked into a triple-layer cake, and a centerpiece-worthy Jell-o Christmas tree that lights up from the inside and is molded in a traffic cone.
He’s been a guest on shows like Jay Leno’s Garage, Martha Stewart, Conan, and Storage Wars, and has judged entries on “Nailed It” and “Cake Wars Christmas.” Don’t miss this first-ever performance by the Ambassador of Americana, Charles Phoenix. Get your tickets today!
