* All-new 2-act, 3-D retro slide show
* Story of 3-D photography in 3-D
* Red and turquoise 3-D dress encouraged but not expected…
* Free 3-D glasses for all!
In this all new, 2-act, 3-D slide show Charles will be sharing nearly a century of spectacular 3-D images with you. Beginning with the sensational Stereoscopes of the Victorian era, and awe-inspiring Viewmaster and Stereo Realist formats of the Kodachrome-colored 1940s and 50s you’ll meet the masters of 3-D, visit the Viewmaster family at home in the 50s, go behind the scenes of early sci-fi TV, explore legendary world’s fairs and much more! In honor of those old 3-D glasses (with one red lens and one turquoise lens), lipstick red and bright turquoise ensembles are encouraged but not expected! PLEASE NOTE: this show is rated 3-D-PG due to some cheesy cheesecake!
Charles Phoenix’s Retro Slide Show will be the keynote address at this year’s Preservation at the Crossroads of America Conference in Newton, Kansas.
Check out Charles as he super-charges the classic living room slide show into a live, laugh-out-loud celebration of mid-century American life and style … car culture, space age suburbia, fast food stands, drive-ins, theme parks, local landmarks and legends and much more! Festive dress is always encouraged but not expected!
