SANTA MONICA, CA
(KCRW) -
Amateur photography is repetitious and often boring even to those who were behind the cameras, snapping shots of family parties, vacations or holiday celebrations. So, why is a slide show of amateur pictures playing New York's Pyramid Club Theater in the East Village, soon to move to the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood? Charles Phoenix's God Bless Americana: The Retro Holiday Slide Show was recognized by the International Fringe Festival for its unique theatrical experience. Charles Phoenix is also the author of several books, including Fabulous Las Vegas in the '50s: Glitz, Glamour & Games and Southern California in the '50s: Sun, Fun and Fantasy.
Guest host JUDY MULLER is a professor of journalism at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California and a correspondent for ABC News.
