SUMMARY:The Mahoning Drive-In Road Show The Exorcist (1973) & Beyond the Door (1974)
DESCRIPTION:Step Back in Time with the Mahoning Drive-In Road Show: A 35mm Double Feature Experience at UCPAC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHorror fans and cinephiles alike have a rare treat coming to New Jersey this winter as The Mahoning Drive-In Road Show brings a classic 1970s drive-in experience indoors for one night only. On Saturday\, February 28\, 2026\, UCPAC’s Main Stage will host a special 35mm double feature presentation of two iconic horror films: William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973) and the cult Italian shocker Beyond the Door (1974). Tickets are on sale now\, promising a nostalgic cinematic event for fans of vintage horror and classic drive-in culture. \n\n\n\nMark from the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Pennsylvania invites audiences to a fully immersive experience\, complete with vintage snack bar advertisements\, original trailers\, and an intermission reel between the films. The show begins with an introduction by Mark and Virgil\, who share stories about the history of the Mahoning Drive-In and provide insights into the films about to be screened. Attendees will be transported back to an era when double features were the centerpiece of a night at the drive-in\, and the magic of 35mm film created an unforgettable\, larger-than-life experience on the big screen. \n\n\n\nThe evening kicks off with The Exorcist\, widely considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. The story follows a young girl\, Regan (Linda Blair)\, whose disturbing possession forces her mother (Ellen Burstyn) to seek help from the clergy in a desperate bid to save her child. Friedkin’s masterful direction\, groundbreaking special effects\, and unforgettable performances made this film a landmark in cinematic horror\, and experiencing it on 35mm promises an intensity and authenticity that digital screenings rarely capture. \n\n\n\nFollowing this classic\, the program continues with Beyond the Door\, an Italian horror film notorious for its similarities to The Exorcist. Marketed with chilling taglines such as “Beyond this door\, the most terrifying event in the history of mankind is about to occur\,” the film gained notoriety when Warner Brothers sued for copyright infringement. Its blend of supernatural terror and 1970s cinematic flair offers fans a unique glimpse into international horror’s response to the era’s American blockbusters. \n\n\n\nThis special Mahoning Drive-In presentation is more than just a movie night—it’s a full-scale homage to the golden age of drive-ins\, with all the charm and thrill of the original experience preserved.

SUMMARY:The Roast of New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey Gets Roasted: A Star-Packed Comedy Night Hits Red Bank This February \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Jersey is no stranger to being the punchline of a good joke—but this winter\, the Garden State is embracing the spotlight in the most Jersey way possible. The Count Basie Center for the Arts is launching a brand-new event that promises to celebrate—and lovingly skewer—everything that makes our state unforgettable. The first-ever Roast of New Jersey will ignite the historic Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre on Saturday\, February 28\, delivering an all-star lineup and the kind of comedic firepower worthy of a centennial celebration. \n\n\n\nTickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.\, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and showtime at 8 p.m. For fans of sharp wit\, fearless punchlines\, and the type of humor that defines great stand-up comedy\, this is shaping up to be one of the can’t-miss entertainment events of 2025. \n\n\n\nLeading the charge is none other than Jeff Ross\, the acclaimed “Roastmaster General” whose name has become synonymous with the art of the roast. From Alec Baldwin to Justin Bieber to Bruce Willis\, Ross has torched some of the world’s most recognizable celebrities on television and on tour\, and now he’s setting his sights on New Jersey itself. Ross is no stranger to the Basie stage—his acclaimed one-man musical comedy show\, “Take a Banana for the Ride\,” made a stop at the theater before transferring to Broadway for a triumphant eight-week run and upcoming Netflix release. With Ross at the helm\, the evening promises to blend biting humor with the kind of sharp\, theatrical precision only he can deliver. \n\n\n\nJoining Ross is a dais packed with some of the country’s strongest comedic voices\, beloved local personalities\, and a few Jersey legends. Joey “Coco” Diaz brings his volcanic energy and signature storytelling style\, fresh off film and podcast success that has cemented him as one of the fiercest forces in the comedy world. From the monster hit Impractical Jokers\, Brian “Q” Quinn adds his blend of chaos and charm\, returning to Red Bank—where he also records his long-running cult-favorite podcast “Tell ’Em Steve-Dave.” \n\n\n\nNew York Giants icon and daily WFAN voice Tiki Barber steps onto the stage to lend his quick wit to the night’s antics\, offering a crossover appeal that sports fans will appreciate. Stand-up veterans Rich Vos\, Bonnie McFarlane\, and Donnell Rawlings bring decades of comedic craft\, each known for groundbreaking work across television\, podcasts\, and major streaming platforms. Chris Gethard\, one of New Jersey’s most beloved comedic sons\, brings his uniquely heartfelt\, offbeat style\, while rising superstar Natalie Cuomo adds her dynamic\, modern voice to the mix\, representing the next generation of comics making waves both online and on stage. \n\n\n\nThe Jersey flavor doesn’t stop there. Chris Covert\, well-known across the state for his musical comedy antics and long-running involvement with local showcases\, adds a dose of unpredictable fun. Reality TV personality Joe Gorga\, recognized from both Real Housewives of New Jersey and his own sold-out comedy tours\, brings his observational humor and high-energy presence to the evening. \n\n\n\nJust when the audience thinks the Garden State has taken enough hits\, a mystery guest will close out the night—someone tasked with stepping up to defend New Jersey’s honor. Expect a final volley of jokes\, jabs\, and Jersey pride aimed right back at anyone daring to mock our diners\, our exits\, our beaches\, our highways\, and of course\, the eternal Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll debate. \n\n\n\nThis roast isn’t just an entertainment spectacle—it’s a cornerstone moment of the Count Basie Center’s ongoing Centennial Celebration. Leading up to the theater’s 100th anniversary in November 2026\, the Basie is rolling out a series of new initiatives that reflect both the institution’s history and its future. Among the highlights are the creation of the Basie Walk of Fame\, a number of community-driven collaborations\, the debut of the ParkStage outdoor venue in Freehold\, and a calendar filled with marquee performances designed to honor the past century while launching the next one. \n\n\n\nIn true Jersey fashion\, the artwork for the Roast of New Jersey pays homage to another state staple: the iconic Roadside Diner on Route 34 in Farmingdale. For residents who grew up on late-night diner booths and neon lights—or anyone who believes New Jersey is best experienced over a plate of disco fries—it’s a fitting tribute to the culture this event celebrates. \n\n\n\nFor fans of live humor\, pop culture\, and the unmistakable vibe of Garden State charisma\, the Roast of New Jersey promises an unforgettable night inside one of the state’s most storied venues. As the Basie continues to expand its programming and develop new spaces and traditions\, this event stands out as a clever\, affectionate love letter to the state and the people who call it home. \n\n\n\nTickets are expected to move quickly as this one-night celebration of Jersey pride\, self-deprecating humor\, and heavyweight comedic talent heads to Red Bank. Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan\, a devoted New Jerseyan\, or simply someone who knows our state can handle a good roast and still come out swinging\, this is one event you’ll want to circle on the calendar. \n\n\n\nThe artwork for THE ROAST OF NEW JERSEY is inspired by the legendary Roadside Diner\, Rt. 34 in Farmingdale\, NJ.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJEFF ROSS: Jeff Ross is a writer\, actor and comedian known worldwide as The Roastmaster General.
