PALMDALE – The Palmdale Playhouse, located at 38334 10th St. East in Palmdale, will host “Ambassador of Americana” Charles Phoenix and  his “Retro Holiday Slide Show” on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m.

Phoeneix will lead the audience on a hilarious, high-octane adventure into his colorful world of ‘flea-market found’ vintage and ‘mom and pop’ Kodachrome slides. With a keen eye for oddball detail, Charles lavishes the very best of his mid-century images with colorful commentary celebrating the way we gifted, decorated, dressed, dined, and drank for the holidays in the ’50s and ’60s. Festive holiday dress is highly encouraged.

Tickets are $15 for adults, and $12 for seniors, students, military and ages 12 and under. Tickets for all Palmdale Playhouse events may be purchased online at www.cityofpalmdale.org/playhouse, or at the Box Office beginning two hours before each show, 38334 10th St. East. For more information, call 661-267-5684.

    Wife and I saw Charles Phoenix’s show this afternoon.. Really enjoyed it. Found it original, humorous…and silly! Great fun for a Sunday afternoon in this somewhat boring Palmdale and Lancaster area.
