OPENING THIS WEEK AT ACT II STAGES

"Nunsense A-Men!" Just in Time for Pride!
this spring's funniest musical... bar NUN!
Opening Night - Saturday, May 19 - 7:00 pm
Continuing Shows - May 22, 26, 29, 30 and June 2 - 7:00 pm

"Nunsense A-Men!" is a take-off on the 2nd longest-running Off-Broadway smash hit, Nunsense, but here in Puerto Vallarta, all of the characters are MALE musical comedy performers! You can think of it as "Mrs. Doubtfire Enters the Convent." Act II's "unholy" version of Nunsense A-Men! features uproarious horseplay and side-splitting jokes that are performed by some of its finest actors: Bert Ramirez, Shawn Morgan, José Jasso, Roberto Gomez, and Al Carswell. You may have caught their crazy #sheNUNigans this week as they went up in a parasail, raced down the Malecón on Segways, and experimented with tequila - all in full habits - but if you missed them, you can always check Act II's Facebook page for evidence.

Directed by Alfonso López and choreographed by Steven Retchless, Nunsense A-Men! is the kind of show that picks you up and shakes you around and makes you want to dance. What more could you want from a musical than passion and laughter and fun? This is a show not to be missed at Act II. ONLY 6 PERFORMANCES! Tickets on sale now, so do your soul a favor and Get Yours Today!

Grand's first of many self-funded music videos, "All-American Boy," released in July of 2013, tells the story of unrequited love between two young men.

Friday, June 1, 8 & 15 at 7:30 pm

The most exciting event of the Summer! After singing a duet with her daughter, Diana, in "Simply The Best," everyone in Puerto Vallarta suggested that Yudi Villamonte be the star of her own show. This was the inspiration for Dreaming of You, a musical tribute to the first Latina Crossover artist, Selena, a show produced and directed by Alfonso Lopez.

Yudi was brought to fame in her home country of Panama, and was known as the matriarch and first lady of the "Villamonte Musical Dynasty." Well known in the paparazzi circuit, all the Villamonte women have been chased down the street as they leave clubs and venues. The paparazzi would go crazy trying to get a picture of the First Musical Family of Panama. Starting a new life in Puerto Vallarta was a risk for the family, but Puerto Vallarta's newest star, Yudi Villamonte, says, "A risk well worth it!"

Now it is Diana's turn to make a special guest appearance, along with her sister, in their mother's show, "Dreaming of You." Don't miss this wonderful performance, click HERE to get your tickets TODAY!

Tickets to all shows can be purchased online at actiientertainment.com, at the box office, which opens at 10 am on show days, or at the 2nd Box Office location, across the street from Garbos on Pulpito Street in the Romantic Zone.
