Poetry, dance, music and theater will be woven together in the debut performance of Animula to be staged Saturday, March 16, 7 p.m., on the outdoor terrace of Chapala’s Centro Cultural Gonzalez Gallo (CCGG).

The Los Angeles Times calls Sharon McNight “one of the great wonders of the musical stage.” My two cents worth? This sarcastic strutting diva’s  “Songs to Offend Almost Everyone,” is one of the funniest, most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen.

Chapala Mayor Joaquin Huerta (L) presents Jan Troell with a watercolor by Efren Gonzalez after the March 5 screening of the Swedish filmmaker’s 2007 documentary “Tune,” held at the Auditorio de la Ribera.

Just in time for something light in the hot weather, Lakeside Little Theatre (LLT) will open the slick but farcical comedy “Not Now Darling” on Saturday, March 23.

The highlight of the presentation of four films screened at Lakeside this week as part of the Guadalajara Film Festival’s DocumentArte program was the surprise news of plans to open a local film school in the near future.

With an incredibly powerful vocal range, wide-ranging repertoire, dynamic stage presence and great sense of humor, the fabulous Kim Kuzma always puts on one amazing show!
