Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Entertainment season in Puerto Vallarta is going on strong at Act2PV, the ‘Best Performing Arts Venue in Banderas Bay.’ This week’s lineup includes the return of two popular shows, a movie under the stars, a live stream of the hilarious ‘What A Drag!’ charity event, and all of your favorite acts.
Between high-quality theatrical productions and internationally-renowned cabaret and drag shows, this 5-star venue brings Puerto Vallarta The Best Of The Best – seven night a week. Tickets are available on the website at act2pv.com and at the box office, open daily from 4:00 to 10:00 pm.
“What A Drag” Live Stream / Fundraiser
Sunday, March 14 at 7:00 pm
(Doors open 6:00 pm)
Every year, hundreds of Vallartans look forward to the hilarious What A Drag! Charity Event, which funds the Banderas Bay Women’s Shelter for the entire year. This year, the show will be presented live at Teatro Vallarta; however, the government COVID safety protocols have reduced indoor seating capacity by 50 to 75%. Act2PV is so excited to be able help fill the void by providing a live stream of this show in its OUTDOOR Starlight Cabaret! Now, you can enjoy the entire event safely with all your friends on the largest screen in Old Town at our OUTDOOR theater.
Starting at 7:00 pm, Act2PV will broadcast a pre-show where this year’s Humanitarian Award will be presented to the person that has demonstrated exemplary humanitarian efforts. Act2PV is very grateful to the many people who contributed so much to support Act2PV employees and entertainers during the shutdown. So many people watched and donated to the many live stream shows, and also contributed money and food to the Employee Food Bank. This has been a difficult year, and Act2PV is eternally grateful for the support of its patrons.
In order to raise $100,000 pesos for What a Drag, Act2PV will also hold a silent auction for two of Francine Peters’ paintings from their own collection. “It is difficult to part with these special paintings,” says Act2PV owner, Danny Mininni, “but if Franny was still with us, she would have painted something special. Now this is what is left for the world, and I know Francine would have wanted us to do this.”
Act2PV will also hold a 50/50 raffle during its live-stream broadcast, and will have a silent auction for artwork from other local artists, restaurant and services gift certificates, and many other donated prizes. A complete list of donated prizes will be posted on Act2PV’s website, and bids will be accepted there, as well.
Yamada Sushi has partnered with Act2PV and will have service available for dinner. They will donate a portion of their proceeds toward reaching the $100,000 pesos goal that Act2PV has set. Remember, COME HUNGRY! The more you eat, the more you give! Act2PV will also have their own menu available.
Act2PV will be selling tickets this week at its box office for a minimum donation of $600 pesos. Remember, all proceeds will be donated toward the $100,000 pesos goal. Thank you, Freda Thompson, for allowing us to do our part to help this wonderful event! Act2PV is so excited to be involved with this amazing event in any way possible!

Mamma Mia! At the Cabaret
Saturdays at 7:00 pm
We all know the story… Girl meets three boys, Girl has a baby and is not sure who the baby daddy is. But you have never seen the story told like this. Director Alfonso Lopez was given a few challenges: cut the show down to 90 min, cut the cast by 10 people, and MAKE IT BETTER! Alfonso did all three in the most creative and brilliant way.
He and Act2PV created a show removing all the boring dialogue, keeping all the fun music and choreography, while telling the story completely by making use of video footage and pictures from the original cast. The duets between actors on stage and video footage from last season was reminiscent of the famous Nat King Cole duet with daughter Natalie.
It is a “feel good” show, filled with joy and happiness and features lots of nostalgic singing and dancing, as well as many of the same stars from last year and the same great ABBA songs… in a way that you’ve never seen before!
MAMMA MIA! at the Cabaret is pure fun! It’s like listening to your old records… It’s an ABBA-solutely perfect escape from the anxiety of today and a wonderful way to spend an evening out with your friends and family… safely! All ages are welcome. All safety protocols are in place for both actors and audience. Tickets are available now at act2pv.com.
MAMMA MIA! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre international (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI, 423 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019.
Because of the uncertainty of current Covid protocols, shows times are subject to change. Always check the website at act2pv.com for any last-minute changes to the show schedule.
