Charles Phoenix: Architecture in LA!
A live slide show performance celebrating Googie, mid-century mod, themed-environments and more
Sunday, August 25; 7 pm
Complementing NHM's Becoming Los Angeles exhibit, pop culture humorist Charles Phoenix leads a fun-fueled whirlwind adventure tour exploring SoCal’s undiscovered and underrated mid-century architectural gems past and present.
With his trademark rousing enthusiasm, gracious wit, and keen eye for oddball detail, the Southern California in the 1950s author shares spectacular Space Age drive-ins, coffee shops, bowling alleys, strip malls, shopping centers, extreme homes, dingbat apartments, fast food stands, theme parks and much more all in glorious color!
Prepare for your local pride to swell! Festive dress is encouraged but not expected!
