Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico - If you live or are currently vacationing in Puerto Vallarta or Riviera Nayarit, there is a new entertainment venue this season. Stage and Forum Theatre, Nuevo Vallarta's newest stage, is introducing some of Puerto Vallarta's top rated shows to their Nayarit residents and visitors.

Nestled among the tranquilidad of Nuevo Vallarta's upscale hotels, condos and vacation homes, this theater provides an intimate entertainment experience with some of Puerto Vallarta's favorite stars. This is not to say that north bay residents, like myself, won't still journey to our favorite 'haunts' and entertainment venues in Old Town Puerto Vallarta, but it's nice to have a new option available.

Puerto Vallarta's darling, song diva Kim Kuzma, officially cut the ribbon for Stage and Forum's opening last month. Kim and her band will bring 'Acoustico,' Puerto Vallarta's Number 1 rated show of 2013-2014, to this new venue starting December 18th. Kim's shows at The Red Room / Act II Stages in Old Town will also continue throughout the winter months. Those of us that love Kim and the band are sure to return again and again for our dose of 'Acoustico' and an evening of musical magic.

Stage and Forum proudly presents the musical, 'Chicago,' debuting on Friday, December 12th at 7:30 pm. Produced by Producciones UNDA and directed by Nina Janik, a Broadway dancer and choreographer, it features professional singers, dancers and actors. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to see a real Broadway production performed only at Stage and Forum.

Other performers and events scheduled at Stage and Forum include:

• Luna Rumba, a band with an incredible mix of world rhythms, melodies and Latin beats

• 'Les Femme des Serge' A musical that revisits popular French music from the second half of the 20th century.

• And more talent to be announced!
