Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The largest entertainment venue in the Banderas Bay area, Act II Entertainment, has always had a commitment to fostering new and local talent. This commitment has proven to be a very successful venture for producers Danny Mininni and Alfonso Lopez.

Since March 2016, Alfonso Lopez, creator and director of the Summer Concert Series, has been working everyday with three very talented performers. These three performers were all part of the hugely popular The Voice of Vallarta, now going into its 4th season.

The series began with On The Radio a show created to showcase the talent of Job Hernandez, Gloria Fiona and The Voice of Vallarta winner, Eli Estrada. "This was a show we created just for them; little did we know it would have such incredible fanfare," says Act II Entertainment owner and producer, Danny Mininni.

'Radio' was the first professional show for all three performers, with their solo shows Be Italian, The Book Of Job and Broken English slated to follow. The task at hand was an "our eyes are bigger than our stomach" moment for Alfonso Lopez, who was so excited by the potential of these three performers.

Creating, producing and directing four shows that were scheduled to open one week after the next was no easy task. But who better to take on this challenge than Alfonso Lopez? With a Master's degree in Music, Drama and Voice, the former professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley was the perfect person for this project. When asked what he would do with his first day off since March, Alfonso replied, "Sleep."

Act II Entertainment and its production team invite you to join them for the last three shows scheduled over the next three Saturdays at 7:00 pm. "What an incredible honor it's been working with this local talent," the two producers say.

The Book of Job
Closing Night: Saturday, July 23 at 7:00 pm

The reviews are in and PV loves Job. Musical Director Alfonso Lopez brings another evening filled with wonderful music and laughter to The Red Room Cabaret. Starring the last man standing: Job Hernandez. Job became very well known last year as the headline singer in The Encore Lounge located inside the Act II Entertainment complex and, most recently, as co-star in the show On The Radio that just ended a successful 3 week run on The Red Room Stage. What Job brings to The Red Room is very different than what he did in Encore. While very often Job was asked to "bring it down" in Encore, he gives it all he has in an explosive performance on The Red Room stage. As one fan put it, "Job is sexy and talented as hell."

Be Italian is a SMASH HIT! Starring the hilarious and talented Gloria Fiona, who will tell you she is not from Italy, she is from ROME. Gloria first became popular as someone in the crowd who stepped up to sing Karaoke one night last summer in the Encore Lounge. The crowd went wild, and the next week she won a contest that placed her as a singer in the Act II Back to School Fundraiser. Gloria went on to be the crowd favorite and the 2nd place winner in Voice Of Vallarta Season 3, beating out hundreds of contestants. Most recently, Gloria closed her show On The Radio, and she was what EVERYONE talked about. "This girl is funny as hell and she can sing, she should be in the high season lineup," said everyone in attendance. Be Italian is directed by Alfonso Lopez, who is quickly becoming a top producer in Puerto Vallarta - not only as the musical director of the PVGMC, but also as the artistic director for Act II Entertainment. Alfonso is now in pre-production for the Tony-award-winning-musical, Avenue Q.

Broken English, starring Eli Estrada, opened to a full house and lot of cheers on July 16th. Crowned the 2016 Voice Of Vallarta, Eli has not wasted time. Eli has just finished a very successful run of On The Radio in The Red Room and has been cast in a leading role in next season's Avenue Q. Eli was also the winner of the Voice of Vallarta's much-coveted Cabaret Week, taking the audience by storm with her humor and incredible stage presence. The price for winning such a night is THIS SHOW. After 5 months of rehearsal and private coaching from producer and director Alfonso Lopez, Eli has created a show that will be sure to make you laugh, cry and cheer. Performed in 'Broken English,' Eli is sure to be a High Season hit!
