Union County Arts Center is housed in the restored Rahway Theatre, conveniently located in Downtown Rahway within close proximity NJ Transit train station.

This historic landmark has become the centerpiece of a recently established Arts District. Union County Arts Center has played a vital role in the revitalization and cultural renaissance of the community.

A CLASSIC VAUDEVILLE HOUSE
Part of the magic of the Union County Arts Center is experiencing live performances in a vintage 1928 Vaudeville & Silent Movie Palace. Lovingly restored to its golden age grandeur, the Arts Center is a monument to an age gone by.

THE MIGHTY WURLITZER THEATRE ORGAN
One of the special features of the Union County Arts Center lies in its original Wurlitzer organ. The UCAC's organ, a modest Wurlitzer of seven ranks (500 pipes, plus percussives), was the catalyst for the preservation effort from which the Arts Center emerged. Since the 1960's, when it was first restored, it has been played regularly, and frequently recorded by celebrity organists and Arts Center volunteers. Because of its enormous sound, though small size, it has become known as the "Biggest Little Wurlitzer". You can learn more about the history and restoration of our theatre organ from the Garden State Theatre Organ Society
