Disney’s “The Princess & The Frog” tells the story of Tiana\, a hardworking young woman with big dreams of opening her own restaurant. \nHowever\, her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Prince Naveen\, who has been transformed into a frog. A magical mishap turns Tiana into a frog as well\, sending the mismatched duo deep into the Louisiana bayou to try to break the spell. \nFeaturing the voices and musical talents of many New Orleans celebrities\, including Randy Newman\, Dr. John\, Terence Blanchard\, John Goodman\, and Emeril Lagasse\, the film captures the magical spirit of one of America’s most fascinating cities. \n“The Princess & The Frog” is significant for introducing Disney’s first African-American princess\, marking an important milestone in representation in mainstream animation. It also stands as one of the last films to use traditional hand-drawn animation\, making it both a cultural landmark and a celebration of Disney’s classic storytelling roots. \n \n \n \n \n Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events

Intensity. Virtuosity. All Girls. All Zeppelin. \nLez Zeppelin is a phenomenon.

SUMMARY:MAHONING DRIVE IN ROAD SHOW 2026 - 35 MM DOUBLE FEATURE - THE EXORCIST & BEYOND THE DOOR
DESCRIPTION:Mahoning Drive-In Road Show 2026\n“Original/Rip-Off” 35mm Double Feature\nThe Exorcist & Beyond the Door\nSaturday\, February 28\nFood Truck Arrives: 6 PM\nDoors: 6 PM – Bar and Vendors Open\nOrgan Concert on our Biggest Little Wurlitzer: 6:30 PM\nFirst Feature – “The Exorcist”: 7:00 PM – 9:15 PM\nIntermission 9:15 PM – 9:45 PM\nSecond Feature – “Beyond the Door”: 9:45 PM – 11:45 PM\nTickets: $22 (All In Pricing)\n \nThe Mahoning Drive-In Road Show returns on Saturday\, February 28 with a 1970s 35mm “Original/Rip-Off” Drive-In double feature of “The Exorcist” (1973) and “Beyond the Door” (1974)! \nA Message from Mark from Mahoning: \nJoin Virgil and me from Pennsylvania’s 35mm movie mecca The Mahoning Drive-In Theater for an indoor night at the Drive-In\, complete with vintage snack bar ads\, trailers\, and an intermission reel between the films! We will introduce the show\, talk about the history of Drive-In theaters\, the Mahoning Drive-In\, and give a little insight into the two shockers about to be unspooled; then it’s 35mm madness unleashed upon the giant screen at UCPAC’s Main Stage! \nFirst up is one of the greatest horror films of all time\, William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” (1973)\, starring Ellen Burstyn as the mother of a young girl (Linda Blair) who finds herself peskily possessed by a debauched demon\, who calls upon the clergy to perform the titular treatment to free the terrifyingly transformed teen! Jason Miller and Max Von Sydow star as the priests who do battle with the foul-mouthed possessor\, in a film that caused original audiences to be sick and flee theaters\, such was the shock of its onscreen intensity. Followed by sequels\, prequels\, and endless imitations\, but never surpassed in its ability to unsettle. Presented here in the 2000 “Version You’ve Never Seen” re-release\, with additional footage not seen until then. \nWe follow that classic with one of the first films to rip it off\, the Italian shocker “Beyond the Door” (1974). “Beyond this door\, the most terrifying event in the history of mankind is about to occur!” SEE the film that Warner Brothers sued for copyright infringement! This time it’s a pregnant woman (Juliet Mills) who’s filled to the brim with an unwanted demon\, and it’s up to her husband and a mysterious stranger (Richard Johnson\, “The Haunting”) to eradicate the blaspheming boogeyman! An over-the-top knock-off that recreates the “greatest hits” of the original while creating its own bonkers memorable moments that must be seen to be believed! \nJoin us in reliving the glory days of the Drive-In\, when the films were wild\, the popcorn was hot\, and double features were the order of the night! \n \n \nComing with a group of 10 or more?
