Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Act II Entertainment announces that it has a new home! The new space, located at the corner of Basilio Badillo & Insurgentes on the 2nd floor, will be previewed for the public at a cocktail party on Saturday, June 8th at 7:00 pm. The "Building The Dream" event will feature wine, hors d'oeuvres, entertainment... and a few surprises.
ACT II's new performance complex, STAGES, will open in November 2013 on the corner of Basilio Badillo and Insurgentes. The space will hold three venues: a 186 seat theatre called 'The Main Stage'; an 100-seat cabaret called 'The Red Room'; a 60-seat piano/wine bar called 'Encore'; and a terrace beer garden with access from both the cabaret and piano bar.
ACT II has a clear vision in this endeavor, which is to present high quality productions of theater, cabaret acts, concerts, dance and children theatre, among other performance events. Programming will be bi-lingual, with more English language shows in High Season and more performances in Spanish in the Summer months.
Danny Minnini said, "STAGES will allow us as producers and directors to be more creative, and more diverse going forward." Minnini recently directed the smash hit comedy Sordid Lives this past season at The Palm.
"We are hoping that this expansion will help promote Puerto Vallarta with tourists as a theater destination city, and we are very encouraged that Vallarta's new municipal administration has been supportive of the project," commented David Restivo, who directed last season's production of The Rocky Horror Show.
Look for more big musicals and hysterical comedies to start the 2013-2014 season! Elizabeth Ensor, who directed the musical revue Suddenly Sondheim, will continue to work with 'all things musical' at STAGES. "With David's vision, Danny's genius, and my perfectionism... be on watch for some more truly wonderful evenings at the theater," said Elizabeth.
In addition to quality performing arts, the piano/wine bar is being designed to hold over 25 wines by-the-glass in a sophisticated temperature controlled wine preservation system, which will be available throughout the complex, with weekly wine tasting events.
Bar service at STAGES will also focus on classic, vintage and artisanal cocktails, with specialized mixology events held throughout each month. Sunday afternoons will be reserved for a lively Beer Bust on the beer garden terrace.
