Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – ThumbTack Theater, the newest performance group in Puerto Vallarta, is thrilled to present their debut production, “Toothpaste and Cigars,” written by TJ Dawe and Mike Rinaldi, to be performed in the upstairs space at Nacho Daddy, Basilio Badillo 287, running October 21 – November 2, Mondays & Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, and Saturdays at 9:00 pm.
The play, directed by Kami Desilets, will feature actors AJ Jordan and Melissa “Troppy” Tropp, and technical direction by Craig Szczepanski.
The co-founders of ThumbTack Theater – Troppy, AJ, Craig and Kami – are veterans of professional theater in Canada, the US, and right here in Vallarta. Troppy and AJ have worked extensively in Chicago’s storefront theater scene, while Craig and Kami have a rich background in fringe theater.
After relocating to Puerto Vallarta and meeting each other, they realized that, while there is already so much great live entertainment here in Vallarta, their areas of experience have a lot in common: intimate theater experiences with minimal technical aspects, in favor of a stronger focus on story and process. They weren’t seeing that kind of theater represented here, so they set about creating it.
ABOUT THE PLAY:
“Toothpaste and Cigars” follows two people who meet at a party and immediately recognize a kindred spirit. Over the course of a year – through witty conversations, holidays, amusing emails, phone calls, and ridiculous gifts – their bond strengthens until, at one last party, it reaches an inevitable turning point.

October 21 – November 2
