Join PBS Wisconsin, UWL’s Latin American Student Organization (LASO), and the Rivoli for a special before-broadcast screening of the new American Masters film about the filmmaker/playwright icon Luis Valdez! A founding figure of the Chicano Movement, Valdez is best known for his play Zoot Suit, the Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba and the theatre company El Teatro Campesino.

At the event, we’ll also get to know LASO, hear from students involved, and learn about some of the can’t-miss community events they have planned! The theater doors open at 7 p.m. (don’t forget to stop by concessions for your popcorn and snacks!), and the program begins at 7:30 p.m. This event is FREE, and registration is highly recommended. Please note: this film has a TV-14 rating.

About American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
The son of migrant farmworkers who became a revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize farmworkers to win their first union contract. In 1979, his Zoot Suit was the first Chicano play ever performed on Broadway. His feature film, La Bamba was a breakout blockbuster in 1987 that authentically depicted Mexican American life and shared it with the world. Founded in 1965, Valdez’s El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. American Pachuco is the story of a pioneering artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations. American Pachuco: The Legend Of Luis Valdez is directed, written and produced by David Alvarado and produced by Lauren DeFilippo, Everett Katigbak, and Amanda Pollak. It is a co-production of Goodhue Pictures, Inc. d/b/a Insignia Films, ITVS, Latino Public Broadcasting and Firelight Media, in association with American Masters Pictures and PBS, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

The Latin American Student Organization fosters and promotes Latin American culture throughout the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus and La Crosse community. We serve as a medium of cultural exchange in which all are welcome!

About the Rivoli Theatre: At the Rivoli Theatre, we believe film is more than just entertainment, it 's culture, connection, and a shared experience that enriches our lives. Since 1920, we’ve proudly served as La Crosse’s community movie theater. Today, we continue that tradition by offering a welcoming, locally-owned space where movie lovers, casual fans, and culture seekers alike can discover diverse films, connect with like-minded people, and celebrate the transformative power of cinema. At The Rivoli, you’re not just watching a movie - you are part of a community that values film, culture, and togetherness.

Part of the UWL Spotlight Series: Bringing campus and community together

This year's event explores the Driftless Region through land, air and water. Attendees will hear from a UWL art professor who explores how creative practice in nature can cultivate a meditation-like state of flow, a UWL geography and environmental science professor who demonstrates how drones can reveal subtle environmental changes, and a nationally-recognized songwriter who reflects how the Driftless Region’s rivers, streams, coulees and ridgetops have influenced his compositions and approach to music-making.

Dr. Constance Arzigian will share rock art from two lesser-known locations (Serra da Capivara, Brazil, and Jeffers Petroglyphs, Minnesota) that both feature lively images of daily life. 

For over 10 millennia, Serra da Capivara artists drew thousands of images along the rock faces of their homes in the arid landscape of northern Brazil, celebrating all aspects of their lives: dancing, acrobatics, hunting, family life, and local animals and plants. Four thousand miles to the north, the artists at Jeffers Petroglyphs, Minnesota, expended great effort pecking over 10,000 images into solid bedrock, capturing hunts, ceremonies, families, animals that shared the land, and much more. At Jeffers, descendants of those artists have contributed their perspectives on this 7,000-year cultural history for the site's interpretative information. These two sites--set in such vastly different landscapes and histories--offer uniquely personal, visual links to the past that no collection of handheld artifacts can provide.

Lucy Kirkwood’s The Welkin is a sweeping, provocative drama that plunges audiences into an isolated 18th‑century English village where justice, morality, and womanhood collide. Set in 1759 rural England, a young woman, Sally Poppy, is convicted of murder and claims she is pregnant to escape execution.  A jury of local women is assembled to decide whether she truly carries new life or faces the gallows. What unfolds is a gripping examination of power, privilege, and the silenced voices of women, as each juror’s own history, hardship, and belief shapes the verdict. By turns tense, surprising, and darkly witty, The Welkin asks urgent questions about who gets to decide truth, whose lives are valued, and how personal experience becomes political. The Welkin asks: What does justice look like when women are finally allowed to speak? And who gets to decide the truth when belief itself becomes a battlefield?

Gruesome Playground Injuries is a raw, darkly funny, and deeply affecting exploration of love, pain, and the marks we carry from childhood into adulthood. Tracking the lives of Kayleen and Doug through a series of out‑of‑order vignettes, the play reveals their complicated bond through moments of physical injury and emotional vulnerability—skinned knees, broken bones, broken hearts. As they reconnect again and again over three decades, their relationship becomes a haunting portrait of intimacy, dependency, and the ways we both hurt and heal one another. By turns tender, unsettling, and unexpectedly humorous, Gruesome Playground Injuries invites audiences to piece together a story that feels strikingly human, asking how much pain we endure for love—and whether some connections are impossible to escape. Tender, unsettling, and unexpectedly funny, Gruesome Playground Injuries is a powerful portrait of two people bound by timing, trauma, and the complicated ways we learn to love.

Nate Wolfe serves UWL by helping veteran and military-connected students connect their hard-earned VA benefits, or benefits earned by their families, to their student accounts and educational goals. 

A 2006 UWL graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Theatre Performance, Wolfe’s journey has taken him across the country and around the world. Before and during his time at UWL, he served in the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman and later as a member of a Scout/Sniper platoon. He also worked in power plant operations, nightclub security, and fitness instruction. 

After graduating from UWL, Wolfe continued his service as an officer in the United States Air Force, earning his commission through Officer Training School in 2008. He served at multiple installations across the United States and abroad, eventually serving as a commander in expeditionary leadership roles. 

His professional path has also included work in higher education, food operations, and security leadership.
