La Rondalla de Chapala is making a comeback after a 15-year hiatus. The original all-male vocal troupe was formed in 1976. A second generation reached its heyday in the mid-1990’s. The group reemerged six months ago with a dozen young musicians coming aboard with a similar number of old-timers under the direction of Felipe de Jesus Ochoa Hernandez.

“Local Hero” is the opening production of Lakeside Little Theatre’s 49th Season. The comedy-drama is directed and adapted for the stage by Neal Checkoway, from Scottish writer-director Bill Forsyth’s original 1983 screenplay which starred Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert.

Lakeside’s Centro Regional de Estudios Musicales (CREM) has been named as the beneficiary of assets being liquidated by the Music Appreciation Society (MAS) after three other prospective candidates bowed out of the running.

Viva La Musica presents the fifth and final concert of its 2013 summer series on Sunday, October, 13, 4 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church.

Marking the end of an illustrious 25-year history, the Music Appreciation Society (MAS) will be formally dissolved at a general assembly of the membership to be held Wednesday, October 9, 1 p.m. at La Nueva Posada (Donato Guerra 9, Ajijic).

Lakeside Little Theatre opens the curtain on its 49th season with the October 4 stage premier of “Local Hero,” an adaptation of the original screenplay by Bill Forsyth scripted by director Neal Checkoway.
