We’re excited to bring that energy back to UCPAC’s Main Stage and invite families of all ages to come dance\, sing\, and celebrate.” \nGet ready for a night of nonstop throwbacks as these Freestyle hitmakers take the stage. TKA will headline the event with crowd favorites like “Maria\,” “Come Get My Love\,” and “Scars of Love.” Joining them is the “Queen of Freestyle\,” Judy Torres\, whose songs like “No Reason to Cry” and “Come Into My Arms” continue to light up the dance floor. Rounding out the lineup is Soave\, whose major hit “Crying Over You” became part of the soundtrack of the Freestyle music genre. Together\, they’ll bring a night full of legendary anthems and performances you won’t want to miss! \nThe Union County Summer Arts Festival is provided with support from the Union County Education Association. \nFor more information about the Summer Arts Festival\, please visit ucnj.org/summer25 or call the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation at 908-527-4900.

DESCRIPTION:La Bamba in 35mm\nThursday\, September 18\nDoors: 6 PMShow: 7 PM\nTickets: $17 in advance/ $22 day of show (All In Pricing)\n\nUCPAC marks Hispanic Heritage Month with a screening of “La Bamba” in 35mm.  \nStarring Lou Diamond Phillips as Richie Valens\, “La Bamba” tells the story of the brief life of the young American Chicano star who influenced Latino rockers like Carlos Santana and Los Lobos. Valens is best known for his rock n’ roll adaption of the classic Mexican folk song “La Bomba.”  \nThe film’s cast includes Esai Morales\, Rosanna DeSoto\, Elizabeth Peña\, Danielle von Zerneck\, and Joe Pantoliano. Musicians of note seen in “La Bamba” include Brian Setzer as Eddie Cochran\, Marshall Crenshaw as Buddy Holly\, and Los Lobos\, who performed all of Valens’ songs in the movie at Valens’ family’s request. Other cameos in the film include Connie Valenzuela\, Richie Valens’ mother. \nAt just 17 years old\, Valens sadly passed away in a 1959 plane crash that also took the lives of Buddy Holly\, the Big Bopper\, and the pilot\, Roger Peterson. The incident was the inspiration for singer/songwriter Don McClean’s 70s classic “American Pie” and became known as “the day the music died\,” but the songs Valens left behind will live forever. \nJoin us on UCPAC’s Main Stage after “La Bamba” for a dance party celebrating Valens’ music and other Latin rock and pop hits by the artists he inspired!  \nThis screening of “La Bamba” (Rated PG-13) is part of the I.

Cobo praised the film for not homogenizing all of the Latin American countries in the manner U.S. media has generally been\, instead accurately depicting the culture unique to Colombia: “from accents to outfits to minute details like the hand-painted tableware\, the embroidered dresses\, the food\, the many colors of our skin\, even the animals – including the ubiquitous toucan and the yellow butterflies that are synonymous with García Márquez.” \nWatch the Trailer\n \nWhat to expect at a Sensory Friendly Theatre Movie Experience: \n\nMovie will run its full length without intermission.\nSeating is general admission; a limited number of tickets will be sold to maintain a comfortably-sized audience.\nLights will remain on at 25% brightness inside the theater auditorium during the entire performance.\nSound volume will be lowered and remain constant to prevent abrupt\, jarring sounds.\n\n \n \n \n \n Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events

SUMMARY:STORIES OF A LIFETIME UNDER THE MOON - SENIOR WRITING WORKSHOP - UCPAC LEGACY ARTS CLUB
DESCRIPTION:Stories of a Lifetime Under the Moon\nA Senior Writing Workshop Presented by the UCPAC Legacy Arts Club\nWednesday\, October 8\nNoon – 4 PM\nFree to New Jersey Seniors Age 55+! Registration Required.\n \nAre you a senior (age 55+) in New Jersey eager to connect with your community\, share your experiences\, and explore your creative side? You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) proudly presents a unique one-day workshop titled “Stories of a Lifetime Under the Moon.” You will participate in a variety of writing exercises to create a biographical\, or fictional\, two-minute monologue around your interpretation or favorite memory of the moon. You will learn how to craft an active story through dialogue with professional instructors guiding you.  \nThe four-hour workshop will culminate in a reading of each writer’s story beneath Museum of the Moon\, an international touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Museum of the Moon is a 23-foot-wide internally lit moon installation featuring detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface that will be suspended in mid-air inside UCPAC’s Main Stage! \nYour journey\, your words. Here’s what some of our past participants have said about “Stories of a Lifetime”: \n“This workshop pushed me out of my comfort zone (but gently) to help me tell my story that has long been in my heart but never written down.”\n“The workshop helped spark wonderful memories and inspired me to write more.”\n“The workshop gave me the insight I needed to push from within myself.”\n“Knowledge is golden. Sharing is great. We are not alone.” \nDon’t miss this opportunity to explore the art of storytelling and create a moonlit memory to treasure. \n \n \n \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events
