Travel back in time to 1920s New Orleans for this modern-day classic! Disney’s “The Princess & The Frog” tells the story of Tiana, a hardworking young woman with big dreams of opening her own restaurant.

However, 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.

Featuring 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.

“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.

What good is sitting alone in your room? Come to "Cabaret," the best movie musical of all time (Forbes) at UCPAC's Main Stage!
See this 35mm screening of the 1972 classic film that won eight Academy Awards, including Best Director (Bob Fosse), Best Actress (Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles), and Best Supporting Actor (Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies).

Set in Germany in 1931, "Cabaret" tells the story of Bowles, an American singer performing at Berlin's glittering Kit Kat Klub while the world outside grows increasingly bleak with the rise of the Nazi regime. With dazzling music and unforgettable performances, "Cabaret" portrays how entertainment can be an escape, if only momentarily, even in the darkest of times.

Enjoy a cocktail and a Kit Kat Klub photo op in the UCPAC lobby. Come in costume as your favorite showgirl or the MC, or come as you are; in here, life is beautiful, and so are you.

Calling all Bettys and Baldwins! Totally pause at our photo op for some rad pics, and don’t forget to grab some sweet treats and cocktails in our Café when you come to see “Clueless” in 35mm! Dress in your 90’s best for the chance to compete and win prizes before the movie begins! “Clueless” follows Cher Horowitz (played by Alicia Silverstone), a wealthy, fashion-obsessed Beverly Hills high schooler who believes she has a gift for fixing other people’s lives. After orchestrating social makeovers and matchmaking schemes, Cher discovers that her own life – especially her love life – is far more confusing than she thought. With sharp wit, iconic ’90s fashion and music, and a heartfelt coming-of-age story, “Clueless” remains one of the decade’s most charming and quotable films.

This screening of “Clueless” in 35mm is a presentation of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.

Join us for John Waters' notorious 1972 cult classic "Pink Flamingos," starring the inimitable Divine as a self-proclaimed queen of filth competing in a grotesque rivalry for the title of “the filthiest person alive.” Waters uses camp, drag, and excess to expose the hypocrisy of moral respectability and the performative nature of celebrity. Outrageous, rebellious, and defiantly disgusting, Pink Flamingos, part of Waters' Trash Trilogy, remains a radical statement and an important chapter in movie history. In 2021, the Library of Congress selected "Pink Flamingos" for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Enjoy a cocktail and dress as Divine as you dare - prizes for best look!

Rated NC-17. This 35mm presentation of "Pink Flamingos" is part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.
