It usually takes an act of God for me to jump out of lurk mode, and I think the following nearly qualifies as such. On Thursday, Nov 20, there are two special shows at REDCAT, the small perfomance space in the back of Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA.
At 7:30 there will be a showing of over 10 of the Alice/Oswald the Rabbit cartoons Walt made in the 1920's while living in Kansas and then later in LA. Virginia Davis, who played Alice in these cartoons and is now 84, will be in attendance and will answer questions. Muscial accompaniment will be provided by Alexander Rannie playing the REDCAT Steinway piano.
Cost: $10!
After that show, at 10:00 pm, Charles Phoenix will host a retro slide-show, multi-media performance that will, if not exclusively focus on, most certainly contain numerous images of D'land and other Disney forms of entertainment from the '50s - 70s. I have seen productions of his in the past and the combination of his love of the subject matter and sly wit makes for a wonderful evening.
Cost: $10!
