The Saturday Morning Cartoons Live Show!

Captured Aural Phantasy Theater brings The Saturday Morning Cartoons Live Show to El Cid on Sunday, April 7!

In this retro variety show, the Captured Aural Phantasy players bring to life nuggets of pop culture straight from the heyday of Saturday morning TV (1970 1988) through live performances of vintage cartoons, ads, PSA's, music and more! More than a nostalgia trip, the show brings the ritual of Saturday morning cartoons to new audiences that may have missed (or were too young for) the fun the first time. Come in your pajamas for VIP seating!

When: Sunday, April 7
7:30 pm doors open and dinner seating begins

The Saturday Morning Cartoons Live Show is the secod installment of our new monthly series at El Cid. We play there the first Sunday of every month, always at 8:30pm.

Shows are built around performances of vintage pop culture gems, usually giving old comic books a modern voice, along with live sound fx, music and projected art. Shows also include short acts, sultry singing, prizes, special guests and live music. In The Saturday Morning Cartoons Live Show, we interpret both comic book adaptations and actual episodes of classic 60's, 70's and 80's cartoons.

Revel in El Cid's 100 year-plus history while enjoying a brand new tapas menu and superb cocktails. Get there early to grab a good seat and excellent food, or get there near curtain and just start drinking!
