Witness vintage tales from the moldering crypt of comic books – uncensored and LIVE! Captured Aural Phantasy Theater presents the TABOO TALES OF TERROR show at the historic El Cid for 1 night only Sunday, April 6! We will be showcasing live performances of stories pulled from vintage, mid-century horror comic books presented in our signature variety show/ old radio show style. These aren’t heart-warming tales – these are the comic book horror stories that were banned in the 50’s for being too terrifying, too violent and too much! Along with multi-media comic book performances, the evening includes comedic acts, prizes and the finest live music. Spend the evening with Captured Aural Phantasy Theater for naughty, uncensored entertainment!
The TABOO TALES OF TERROR show is another in our new Seduction of the Innocent series, monthly shows that highlight comics once deemed harmful to kids. The series is in anticipation of the 60th anniversary of the Senate hearings of April 21, 1954, which damned the comic book industry. We will be re-staging this historic event with a special theatrical performance later in the spring. In the meantime, get the backstory and enjoy our “bad influence” at El Cid. All the cool kids are doin’ it.
NEW this season – shop before the show at our Phantasy Faire! Join local vendors on the El Cid patio and puruse everything geek and chic in our version of a nerdy farmer’s market. The TABOO TALES OF TERROR show is the newest in our 5th Anniversary Season and the next installment in our monthly residency at El Cid. We always start the show at 8:30pm, but doors open at 7:30 so audiences can begin with El Cid’s brand new tapas menu and superb cocktails. Enjoy a variety show, music and booze!
Admission: $10 at the door or online at www.capturedauralphantasy.com
