The 2008 Tansey Fundraising Event: “An Evening with Charles Phoenix”

Charles Phoenix

This year the Tansey Fundraiser will be something completely different:
A retro slide show performance by "histo-tainer" Charles Phoenix celebrating 50's, 60's, and 70's theme parks, tourist traps, car culture, space age style, parties and more IN COLOR. 

Mr. Phoenix has been amassing slides found in thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets for many years and presents them as wonderful time capsules of American life in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.  He gives slide shows in the Los Angeles area on themes such as “The Retro Holiday Slide Show” and “Charles Phoenix’ Retro Disneyland Slide Show”. 

 He will be giving us one of his very funny and nostalgic slide shows, "The United States of Charles Phoenix: A Comedy about Mid-Century Americana", and will follow it with a discussion about his slide collection (which now numbers over 500,000!).
