The CAB’s lineup for the 2003 fall semester promises to be one fun-packed event after another.
With more movies, guests, and events than you can shake a stick at, there is definitely something that everyone can find entertaining.

Some of the semester highlights include the Coffeehouse music series and Open Mic Nite. The Coffeehouse series will show a new acoustic artist performing in the UC lounge each month.

Scheduled guests include Rodie Ray and Kenny Shore, two accomplished musicians.

Open Mic Nite is a chance for the students of UNCP to say what’s on their minds through songs, poetry, and other forms of expression.

For the month of October, prepare to be amazed, freaked out, or both as Alain Nu and Brian Brushwood, two expert magicians, hit UNCP. Nu specializes in mental powers, while Brushwood specializes in bizarre magic.

CAB shows movies twice a week, Friday and Wednesday, either in the Moore Hall Auditorium, or the Pine Hall Multipurpose Room. Previous movies shown have included “The Matrix Reloaded,” “X-Men 2,” “A Man Apart,” “Bringing Down the House” and “Bruce Almighty.”

Most movies shown haven’t been released on VHS/DVD, so this is the chance to see it for free. Upcoming movies include “Identity” and “Boat Trip.”

The Distinguished Speaker series features inspirational people with stories and life lessons to motivate others. Future speakers include Spike Lee, Dave Barry and Billy Mills.

The Nostalgia Concert Series stars many popular artists from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, such as Dionne Warwick, The Oak Ridge Boys and the Four Tops. They will be performing many fan favorites for the audience.

Director of Programming for CAB James Bass said “We’re trying to do new things this year.” He also commented that the CAB tries to show entertaining programs all the time.
