WHAT: Charles Phoenix, America's Favorite Histo-Tainer,  supercharges the classic living room slide show into a laug-out-loud funny celectraton of mid-century American Holiday Culture!  You'll be put into the Holiday Sprit like never before! Experience how we decorated, dressed up, dined, drank and smoked during the holidays in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Celebrate New Year’s with the most bizarre rose floats ever; Easter mixing cocktails in a motel bathroom and 4th of July fireworks at Disneyland. Carve a jack-o-lantern with a suburban dad and dress up for Halloween, and then live the tragic life of a Thanksgiving turkey. Attend a Christmas bondage party then learn how to make a toilet paper Christmas tree. Visit Santa’s Village, Southern California’s most bizarre theme park, see who got the best toys on Christmas morning and more ... IN COLOR!

WHERE: Built in the 1930s-40s, Steele Elementary is designated a Historical Landmark for its amazing Deco design and accents... which are STILL INTACT today! The Auditorium, immediately inside the front door, is spectacular... It even has a BALCONY! The giant wooden stage is flanked with red velvet curtains and the seating is comfy and sized for adults! Located in one of Denver's hippest areas, just north of Washington Park, the school is very central, with tons of free street parking. What better place to get into a nostalgic mood... than in a historical elementary school! You'll LOVE IT!

WHO: Charles Phoenix has been called the "King of Retro!" Last month, he was on the Martha Stewart Show, delighting viewers with his vintage Halloween slides! He has written several fabulous books on mid-century culture, and is regarded as LA's primary kitsch culture preservationist... His slide shows are LEGENDARY!
