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.

Rock Art's Unique Window into Past Lifeways From Northern Brazil to Southern Minnesota 3310 Student Union 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thu, Oct. 1
  • Greater La Crosse community
Read more about Rock Art's Unique Window into Past Lifeways

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.

The Welkin Toland Theatre, 150 Lowe Center for the Arts Multiple dates (6 upcoming)

Read more about The Welkin

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?

This event is free and open to students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Join UW-La Crosse for a featured Free Speech Week conversation with Dr. Jason M. Williams and Dr. Michael Bitzer on free speech, civic courage, public accountability, polarization, democratic participation, and the skills needed to engage difficult public conversations.

This 90-minute public event will be structured as a facilitated conversation with time for reflection and audience engagement. Participants will be invited to consider how free speech shapes public life, how communities can engage disagreement with greater care and courage, and why civic participation requires both speaking up and listening well.

This event is free and open to the public. 

Willem “Will” Van Roosenbeek is the Student Affairs Director for LGBTQA Services at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a two-time UWL alumnus, earning his bachelor’s degree in Therapeutic Recreation in 1992 and his master’s degree in College Student Personnel in 1997. He has led LGBTQ+ programs and services at UWL for more than two decades, supporting students, educating campus and community members, and helping build spaces where LGBTQ+ people can find connection and belonging. His areas of expertise include LGBTQ+ education, transgender identity and experience, inclusive workplaces, and LGBTQ+ experiences in health care.

His community leadership has also included work with local LGBTQ+ organizations, Habitat for Humanity, the city's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, and the City of La Crosse Human Rights Commission. 

His story also reaches into La Crosse’s LGBTQ+ history. Will has spoken about finding community at Rainbow Revolution Bookstore in the 1990s while navigating his own identity, describing the importance of spaces where LGBTQ+ people could find information, connection, and one another before those resources were easily available online.

Read more about Gruesome Playground Injuries

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.

Read more about UWL Celebrates: Veteran's Day

This event is free and open to the public

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. He served as an Assistant Professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and later worked in operations and security management roles. He earned a Master of Science in Leadership and Management from Webster University in 2016. 

Across his life and career, Wolfe has traveled widely, including time in Ireland, Peru, Mexico, Jordan, and throughout the United States. His experiences reflect a broad commitment to service, leadership, learning, and supporting others as they navigate complex systems and transitions. 

Today, Wolfe brings that same commitment back to UWL, supporting veteran and military-connected students as they pursue their education and build their next chapter.
