In the spirit of collaboration and appreciation for musical brilliance, we bring you our monthly concert series — pairing tunes from legendary masters of rock, along with some unsung heroes following in their footsteps. Settle in for an intimate vibe akin to MTV Unplugged, Storytellers and Behind the Music, as singer/guitarist Kevin Spyker performs timeless hits and hidden gems, accompanied by an array of instrumentalists from the Belmar Arts music collective.

Reserve your seats for our series launch on May 18th — highlighting the music of rock icon Tom Petty, with an opening set honoring the up-and-coming band known as Dawes...each month we will tribute two different bands.

Between songs we’ll share some history and fun facts about our featured songsters.

We’re honored to name our tribute series after the memorable Dawes song / album “All Your Favorite Bands” with the anthemic refrain:

“I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it'd be,

I hope your brother's El Camino runs forever,

I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me,

And may all your favorite bands stay together!”

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.
