Local sculptor Miguel Miramontes, one of Mexico’s foremost artists,  has offered one of his recent works to the Ajijic Cultural Center.

The Orquesta Tipica de Chapala is scheduled for a one-night dinner show entitled Añoranza Mexicana (Mexican Nostalgia) on Wednesday, March 13, 7 p.m., at La Bodega de Ajijic Restaurant.  The program will feature an unplugged repertoire of classic tunes and rhythms from different regions of the country.

Can there be too much fun? Nope! And the director, cast and crew of Lakeside Little Theatre’s recent staging of “The Drowsy Chaperone” proved it.

Velvet-voiced and amazingly versatile, Jorge Acosta has a huge following at his weekly shows at The Palm — El Piano Rojo’s sister club in Puerto Vallarta — where he often introduces new talent to the room.  And since he presented Polish soprano Beata Stankiewicz a few weeks ago, folks just can’t get enough of her angelic powerhouse voice.

The all-time longest running off-Broadway musical, “The Fantasticks,” is set to be revived again in Ajijic, directed by a veteran of the San Francisco production and featuring the same trio of local, young singers-actors who, as the show’s producer Jayme Littlejohn says, “enchanted” Lakeside audiences last fall.

The Scotiabank Northern Lights Music Festival has been outstanding so far, and there are still a few opportunities left to experience what has become a bellweather musical event at Lakeside.
