Free Shows at Act2PV

I am looking at a very dark, foreboding sky this morning. Even the birds are sleeping in, giving me an idea to do the same. Maybe I will, but my darling Bogie needs to be fed first. He is sitting at the window waiting for something to fly by in the air or run on the wires just out of reach; squirrels are so entertaining. Not much is moving at 7 am but us.

News from Act2PV – all shows in August are free; you will just have to consume 200 pesos worth of cocktails. Tomorrow, my dear Scrabble rival, Sharon Gerber Scherer, is hosting the Greatest Show on Earth at 7 pm. It will be fabulous, of course, because that’s who Sharon is. In the aftermath of the unexpected death of Act2 founder Danny Mininni, when the demise of the theater seemed imminent, through her grief, Sharon went to work and raised more than 150K. Without her, without that infusion of cash, we would not be having this conversation about her debut at the GSOE.

I was at the first fundraiser for Act2, before there were even walls. I listened to Danny’s dreams, heard the partner in-fighting, and wondered aloud sometimes at the choice of productions, but through all the growing pains, there was an underlying certainty that the show should go on. Danny’s brilliance shines in the continuing Voice of Vallarta and the Greatest Show on Earth. How fitting Sharon will host tomorrow; she is the unshakeable, resilient foundation of the new Act2PV.
