Weekend Fun and Entertainment in Puerto Vallarta

Every Friday, Argentine Nacho Granados takes the stage at La Catrina Cantina and entertains in two languages – he is one funny, saucy crooner. If you have any Tom Jones favorites, let him know; you will be astonished! It was lovely to hear Nacho again and enjoy his quirky humor and energy in the friendliest bar in Vallarta.

My sister and I love the Abbraccio Cucina Italiana Restaurant near Puerto Magico and eat there whenever we are in that part of town. We devoured designer pizza and indulged in their delicious homemade bread before heading to the Marina for a play by Teatro sin Borders.

Beware the House on Haunted Hill is a campy, well-acted adaptation of the 1959 film that starred Vincent Price. Chris Manly did a fine job filling those boots! Sound – except for formidable screaming by Melina Querel as Nora Manning – and lights by Santiago Tello, and ably directed by John Sheppard, writer for the MacGyver TV series. John’s wife, Pamela, plays Ruth Bridgers, a theater critic.

Teatro Sin Borders celebrates its third season at the American School, and is overseen by founder and executive producer Sandi McDonald. Haunted Hill has four more shows this week and will close on November 30th.

We joined Robert Henry, who calls the balls every Sunday at 4 PM, at Beefcakes Bar Bingo and cleaned up, winning six of the ten games! We hurried home to drop off a bag of hard-earned goodies and returned to Nacho Daddy in time for Kevin Anthony’s monthly show backed by the Roxsand Band. The house was full of adoring fans – Kevin Anthony is a master storyteller and Broadway veteran. We love him in all aspects of his life in Vallarta; he shines the brightest light.
