Rahway's Union County Performing Arts Center to Screen 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 35mm

Maria Torres · Union County Life

The Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) in downtown Rahway will host a special retro movie night, presenting the classic 1990 live-action feature film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in original 35mm film format. The family-friendly event invites long-time fans and a new generation of filmgoers to experience the iconic martial arts comedy on the big screen inside Rahway's historic Main Stage theater.

The special screening highlights the venue's ongoing classic film series, which celebrates traditional celluloid projection and nostalgic cinema experiences. Union County Life confirmed that attendees will enjoy authentic organ pre-shows on the historic 1928 Wurlitzer pipe organ prior to showtime, along with themed lobby photo opportunities and classic concession stand offerings.

Originally released in 1990, the blockbuster adaptation brought the popular comic book and animated series heroes—Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael—to life using groundbreaking animatronic puppetry designed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Theater organizers noted that showing the film in 35mm offers audiences a rare chance to view the movie with its original theatrical grain, color balance, and cinematic warmth.

Tickets for the September seventeen screening are available at nominal admission pricing, with discounts offered for seniors and children.
