By: Julie Musbach
Union County Performing Arts Center's annual Wine, Cheese & Chocolate Party is back!

Tickets are $30.00 in advance, and increase to $35.00 at the door.
After the tasting, at 9pm, UCPAC presents An Evening with Patsy Palma: Standards, Oldies & Showtunes. Palma pays homage to true musical legends such as Sinatra, Bennett and Presley, "An Evening with Patsy Palma" delivers a marvelous tribute to the classics. Palma performs standards from his favorite vocalists, while also throwing in moments from the musicals he has been a part of. It is bound to be a beautiful night of ballads and sing-a-longs. Remo, ensures that "very few talents can truly live up to the title "local celebrity" like Mr. Patsy Palma. His voice and on stage presence is unique and intoxicating as it captures and celebrates a style of entertainment that appeals to audiences of all ages." "An Evening with Patsy Palma" will truly be one evening you will not want to miss. Tickets are $20.00 in advance, and increase to $25.00 at the door.
A package deal is available for those who would like to attend both events. Visit ucpac.org/packages to pay $5.00 less than if you were to purchase for each event separately!
