3/4/2012 - Movie Matinee: The Muppets

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

3 PM @ Student Center Ballroom - On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary and Mary from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

3/8/2012 - Pop Violinist: Josh Vietti

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

1 PM @ Student Center Courtyard - Upbeat, soulful and mesmerizing are three words that perfectly describe Josh Vietti. He has an unusual knack for combining sounds and rhythms from a variety of genres to make just the 'right kind of noise'! Josh has played the violin since he was four years old! At the age of 7, he received a scholarship from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he studied for 10 years.

Josh has performed with the Los Angeles Ballet Academy and was featured in the 2010 NBA All-Star Game commercial narrated by the actor Common. In September 2011, Josh recorded a track for multi-Grammy award winner Cee Lo Green. In November 2011 he performed on the Ellen Degeneres show.

Hear him to experience how he makes parallel tracks intersect in an exciting melody...

3/11/2012 - Comedy Show Featuring: CRAIG ROBINSON

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

8 PM @ Reynolds Performance Hall - Craig Robinson built a rep of quiet cool, evolving from minor roles on the hit sitcom "The Office" (NBC, 2005- ) to increasingly prominent billing and critical buzz. A stand-up comedian who worked at Chicago's renowned comic cauldron Second City, Robinson first made his way onto television as part of a tandem act with Jerry Minor, before landing brief but memorable guest shots on upper-echelon sitcoms such as "Arrested Development" (FOX, 2003-06), and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (HBO, 2000- ). In 2005, however, his luck changed when he earned a job as the stoic "Office" warehouse manager Daryl on the hit NBC sitcom. The newly popular actor turned in memorable performances in the Judd Apatow film "Knocked Up" (2007), Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" (2008), and the Apatow-produced "Pineapple Express" (2008). In 2010, he vaulted to star status in the much-hyped major studio comedy, "Hot Tub Time Machine" alongside John Cusack. Robinson's critically beloved characterizations established him as a comedy secret weapon whose consistent scene-stealing seemed to augur larger roles in larger projects.

Tickets are $10 for UCA Students and $20 for General Public.

Tickets can be purchased at the Reynolds Box Office or online at www.uca.edu/tickets.

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:00:00 GMT

7 PM @ Student Center Ballroom - This past winter Michael debuted on The Late Show with David Letterman and last summer debuted on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Last summer he also performed at The TBS LOL Lounge in the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago. He also has performed at Caesar’s Palace in The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas and was the winner of HBO’s Lucky 21 Stand-up Contest. He also won the Chicago region of Comedy Central’s Open Mic Fight and went on to make his Comedy Central debut on Live at Gotham Season 3. He has also been seen on Fuel TV's The Daily Habit.

Michael connects to the youthful innocence in everyone as he relates his stories onstage. From growing up in a small town to buying his first car Michael's stories allow everyone to laugh a lot. Audience members quotes: "Really good job," "...funnier than Cosby or Seinfeld...," and, "You're just like my son."

4/15/2012 - Movie: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 06:00:00 GMT

7 PM @ Student Center Ballroom - Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room... until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large - Professor Moriarty - and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

Holmes' investigation into Moriarty's plot becomes ever more dangerous as it leads him and Watson out of London and across Europe, to France, Germany and finally to Switzerland.

But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction - all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.
