Sunday only – CAPT presents “Swimming To Metropolis: A Live Show About The History Of Comic Books” – Los Angeles theater review

Learn about comic history and enjoy some great cocktails this Sunday night!

For one night only, Captured Aural Phantasy Theater — LA’s original comic book performance group — presents the history of comic books live as part of a show that spans narrative illustration from the 18^th Century to today. In Swimming To Metropolis: A Live Show About The History Of Comic Books, CAPT’s usual MC Ben Dickow, who lectures on the history of comics at Otis College of Art and Design, leads audiences through a multi-media and visual tour of comic book evolution, connecting it with historic developments in art, literature and politics along the way.

The lively presentation is accompanied by music, special effects, audience participation and El Cid’s spectacular cocktails. You’re invited to spend the last night of holidays geeking out with history, comic books and booze!
