The Night Of Noir Show

Captured Aural Phantasy Theater presents our Night of Noir Show at the historic El Cid Sunday, October 6! In our newest live retro variety show, Captured Aural Phantasy Theater blows a kiss to our adopted hometown, Los Angeles, by blending hard-boiled culture and the absurd in an evening of performances inspired by LA-centered noir movies, pulp fiction and and the brutal crime comic books of the 40's. The show features our unique multi-media, old radio show-style performances of vintage noir comics plus projected art, live jazz/cabaret music, and other thrilling acts.

Crime comic books dominated the industry in the late 40's. The Night of Noir Show presents LA-centered crime comics in all their gritty glory. The show also is the culminating event of a noir-themed scavanger hunt, the Week of Noir, that Captured Aural Phantasy Theater is presenting the week before the show. Check our Facebook page leading up to October 6 and unravel daily clues that will take you on a noir quest through Los Angeles! We love this city and we want to get our audiences out in it.
