THE KARATE KID will be played on 35 mm film on the UCPAC Main Stage! Your ticket includes a 30 minute pre-show, in which Paul Citti will play the UCPAC’s “Biggest Little Wurlitzer” organ, and a FREE popcorn!

Starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, this martial arts film teaches that self-defense can be honorable and compassionate. After having his body beaten by the students of “Cobra Kai” dojo, Daniel enlists the help of Mr. Miyagi, a local handyman, to teach him the art of karate. Mr. Miyagi’s unconventional training methods, at first confusing Daniel, make him strong enough to compete in the All-Valley Karate Championships against the very boys who previously beat him. Will Daniel prevail against their dishonorable attacks?

Paul Citti is the staff organist at the Loew’s Jersey, a freelance pianist, a church organist and choir director, and a member of the Garden State Theatre Organ Society, assisting in the maintenance of their collection of instruments.
