Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) in association with the Jewish Community Center of Central New Jersey has the privilege to have a special and one time screening of the movie Tango Shalom, at 6:00 p.m. followed by a Q&A at 8:00 p.m. with some of the main producers, writers, and actors of the movie.

The long-awaited Joel Zwick (Director, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) comedy dance film extravaganza!  When a female Tango dancer (Karina Smirnoff) asks a Rabbi (Jos Laniado) to enter a dance competition, there’s one big problem – due to his Orthodox beliefs he’s not allowed to touch her! The prize money is much needed for both, so they develop a plan to enter the competition without sacrificing his sacred beliefs, and the bonds of family and community are tested one dazzling dance step at a time in this lighthearted fable.

Starring: Jos Laniado, Judi Beecher, Claudio Laniado, Renée Taylor, Lainie Kazan, Karina Smirnoff, Marci Fine
Directed by Gabriel Bologna
Rating: PG-13 (Some Suggestive Material | Brief Drug Use)
