Lakeside Friends of the Ballet de Jalisco – the state’s only professional ballet company – are hosting a special fundraiser for the group Saturday, January 28, noon-3 p.m. at the home of Suzanne Salimbene, Calle Independencia 49 (corner of Cinco de Febrero) in Ajijic.

“Visiting Mr. Green” is an endearing play about an accidental friendship between an old Jewish man and a young Jewish man, each with a family secret.

The fourth Festival Cultural Sangre Viva, slated for Friday, January 27 through Sunday, 29 in Ajijic, will encompass diverse activities accenting Mexico’s ancestral roots. 

Following the success Lakeside Little Theatre (LLT) has enjoyed in bringing London’s National Theatre Live, The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet to Ajijic, the next milestone will be screening Broadway stage productions in the culturally active village.

Lakeside Little Theatre’s current production, “Death and the Maiden,” is not an enchanting, feel-good play, but one that gives a glimpse of the reality many throughout the world suffer under the hands of a cruel police state. 

Toronto’s Kevin Levesque brings his Miss Conception drag queen persona to lakeside once again with his new show Immaculate Collection, Saturday, January 21, 6 p.m. at the Auditorio de la Ribera.
