Must-See Music and Movies at Terrace After Dark
As the number of Terrace-goers increases and the feeling of summer is more and more present here at the Union, it is only appropriate to share one of the most exciting parts of Madison summers — Terrace concerts and movie screenings. The Terrace After Dark series is a summer tradition put on by the Wisconsin Union Directorate that makes every summer a memorable one. With movies such as Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Animal House, the Lakeside Cinema series highlights “oldies but goodies” to a tee. Music series such as the Bluegrass & Americana Series and Behind the Beat feature local and national touring artists. With the help of WUD, we picked out some artists and movies this summer you don’t want to miss:
