This classic Vaudeville house opened as the Rahway Theater on October 16, 1928 and featured a magnificent Wurlitzer pipe organ. This organ was the catalyst for the preservation effort from which the 1,300 seat Arts Center emerged. Carefully restored to its golden age of grandeur, the Arts Center is a monument of an age gone by. The Union County Performing Arts Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation operating in the historic Rahway Theatre. Enjoying a prime location in Union County, UCPAC is dedicated to making this landmark theatre your choice for the performing arts – for education, inspiration and entertainment. This historic landmark is the cornerstone of the Rahway Arts District.
The facility will be open for Four Centuries in a Weekend on October 21st from 10AM - 5PM with tours available from 10AM - 1PM and October 22nd from 12PM - 5PM with tours available from 12PM - 2PM. Tours by noted author and theater historian, I. Joseph Hyatt. This is a free event.
