SUMMARY:LA BAMBA IN 35MM WITH LATIN ROCK/POP DANCE PARTY
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. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series. Get your tickets today! \n \n \n \n \n Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events

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:SPYRO GYRA - ALL THAT JAZZ CONCERT SERIES
DESCRIPTION:Spyro Gyra\nWBGO Presents All That Jazz\nat UCPAC’s Hamilton Stage\nSaturday\, November 1\nTwo Shows: 5 PM & 8 PM\nEnjoy cocktails & live piano from Leonieke Scheuble in the WBGO Piano Lounge before the show!\nLobby opens at 4 PM & 7 PM for each showtime.\nTickets: $79-$89 (All-In Pricing)\n \nWBGO presents All That Jazz concert series\, a unique series showcasing some of the genre’s most talented and respected performers\, featuring 13-time Grammy nominated band Spyro Gyra\, returning by popular demand! This series is a partnership between WBGO\, UCPAC\, and Smooth Jazz NJ. \nEnjoy an evening of jazz fusion\, beginning in the WBGO Piano Lounge. Come early to enjoy cocktails and live piano music played by Leonieke Scheuble on the Fazioli piano before the performance – doors open one hour before showtime. \nAbout Spyro Gyra\nSpyro Gyra has long been known to its peers in the contemporary jazz world as a “well oiled road machine” due to its relentless schedule of 48 years of performing. To date\, they have logged more than 10\,000 shows on six continents and released 35 albums\, garnering platinum and gold records along the way. Spyro Gyra rose from humble beginnings in Buffalo\, New York in 1974 to their current international prominence in the jazz world. Every year\, they continue to exhibit how to remain among a relative handful of artists who will be able to say that they have worked constantly in their 50 year career in the year 2025. Their energy and joy in concert match their unmatched musicality. \nSpyro Gyra\, whose odd name has since become world famous\, was first known simply as “Tuesday Night Jazz Jams\,” a forum wherein bandleader Jay Beckenstein and keyboardist Jeremy Wall were joined by a rotating cast of characters. Tuesday just happened to be the night when most musicians weren’t playing other gigs to pay their bills. Around this time\, a young keyboardist named Tom Schuman began sitting in when he was only sixteen years old. This young man\, of course\, remains a member to this day. \n“Don’t forget the interminable Dead-like solos we were taking\,” Beckenstein cracks. “We were the kings of self-indulgence\, but eventually we earned our right to charge a quarter at the door. It was a complete shock when word of our psychosis got out and we started packing them in!” \nThe group’s increasing popularity – combined with the purchase of a new sign for the club – prompted the owner to insist that Beckenstein come up with a name for his band. “It began as a joke. I said ‘spirogyra\,’ he misspelled it\, and here we are fifty years later. In retrospect\, it’s okay. In a way\, it sounds like what we do. It sounds like motion and energy.” \nDon’t miss your chance to see this incredible band in this intimate setting!\n \n  Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events
