JOIN UCPAC FOR A FUN NIGHT OF LIVE-ACTION, COMEDY, AND CARTOONS: A 35MM SCREENING OF WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT

RAHWAY, NJ — Are you looking for a night of nostalgia and comedy? On November 20, Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) will be screening the groundbreaking cartoon/live-action film, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” in 35mm; part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.

The 1998 film is an exciting blend of live action, animated characters, and humor that broke new ground in filmmaking. It won the Special Achievement Oscar in Animation Direction for its unique and innovative filmmaking techniques at the time and remains a beloved classic. It is one of many classic films that UCPAC presents in 35MM, preserving the nostalgia and signature noir-style of the film.

Set in Hollywood during the 1940s, the film follows Eddie Valiant, a private detective played by Bob Hoskins, as he’s drawn into a chaotic mystery alongside the animated Roger Rabbit, who is accused of murder and desperate to prove his innocence.

Join UCPAC to be a part of an exciting, Thursday night that includes a classic film, themed drinks, a fun photo op with Benny the Cab, and more fun surprises. Advance tickets are priced at $17, with tickets purchased on the day-of priced at $22. Doors open at 6 p.m., and at 6:30 p.m., there will be a short performance on the “Biggest Little Wurlitzer.” The film will begin at 7 p.m.
