UCPAC hits a double: a double-feature on 35 mm film!

At 2 PM, 1992’s A League of Their Own steps up to bat. This fictional account of the real All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, founded when the WWII draft led to a scarcity of male players, boasts an all-star cast. Dottie (Geena Davis) is scouted for the team and must learn to contend with demeaning audiences, an alcoholic, has-been coach (Tom Hanks), and even rivalries between players (Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell).

Next is The Natural (1984) at 5 PM, based on Bernard Malamud’s 1952 novel. Robert Redford stars as Roy Hobbs, a prodigy whose skills get him a tryout with the Cubs at 19. However, an attack leaves Hobbs with a gunshot wound, completely derailing his dream. Hobbs signs with the NY Knights, the last place team, at age 35, and must now prove through age and injury that he can still become the “best there ever was.”

From 4-5 PM, an organist will play the UCPAC’s historic “Biggest Little Wurlitzer” organ!
