?"The Foreigner," directed by Founding Partner, Danny Mininni A Comedy by Larry Shue Produced by Act II Entertainment WEDNESDAYS - 7:00 pm The Foreigner is the story of two guests, Charlie Baker and Staff Sergeant Froggy LeSueur, at a resort-style fishing lodge in rural Georgia. Charlie is depressed because his beloved wife may be dying. To help his friend, Froggy tells Betty Meeks, who owns the lodge, that Charlie is the native of an exotic country who does not understand a word of English. Betty, who has never traveled, is delighted to cater to a stranger who is "as foreign as the day is long." Before long, things start to go awry, as Charlie finds himself privy to assorted secrets and scandals freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors. Charlie must "learn" English quickly and think on his feet if he wants to save the lodge and his new friends. The Foreigner stars Alex McLauchlan as the charming and adorable Charlie (the Foreigner). "I never thought I'd meet another actor GOOD ENOUGH to play the part of Charlie until I met Alex," says director, Danny Mininni. This show also features Act II veteran actress, Cherry DeLorenzo, the only actress that has been in an Act II production every season since its inception. Also starring Maria Rose, Shawn Morgan, Branden Hayes, Al Carswell, and Andrew Sands. 'The Foreigner' is a fantasy of good and evil resulting in side-splitting laughter. This hysterical romp is filled with slapstick and surprisingly, romantic comedy! It has enough warmth and truth in it that it is not only funny, but also often moving. This is solid entertainment and one of the funniest shows you will ever see! TripAdvisor ????? Best Play Ever! If you are looking for a fabulous night out go see The Foreigner on Wednesday nights at 7 pm or Saturdays and you can thank me later!!! It was full of surprises. Lots of fun! ~wheelerart, 1/12/19 TripAdvisor ????? "... tons of laughs for a sold out audience. Very entertaining and very well cast with flawless performances from all the actors Congratulations Danny on your direction Capabilities!" ~William Larkin, 1/6/18 "Total raves from attendees leaving the theater from everyone I talked with. Best Ever?" ~Gary Beck 1/6/18 "GO SEE THE FOREIGNER at Stages, Act II! It is brilliant! I saw Danny Mininni´s production 7 years ago and thought... this can´t get any better!¨ Well it was as good, and some of the characters even better in my opinion. Cherry DeLorenzo as Betty Meeks did not lose a beat! Timing by all concerned was perfect and hard to do on an opening night! Maria Rose can not only sing but act. Perfect person for Catherine. The Foreigner, Alex McLauchlan was so endearing and clever and PERFECT. Brendan Hayes played a wonderful irreverent Reverend and the two tall guys, Allan Carswell and Andrew Sands played their parts brilliantly as well. Shawn Morgan who played Owen Musser was cast perfectly as the angry Clan member. Thanks for another entertaining evening at Act II." ~Sharon Baughman-White 1/6/18 "The Foreigner opened last night with rave reviews. Couldn't agree more. Another over the top production by Danny Mininni, Alfonso López and all the performers and staff at Act II Entertainment. Make it a point during your time in Puerto Vallarta to see this play! Well done!" ~Cindy DuChateau Ramirez 1/6/18 "A tour de force. A comedic drama at its best. ACT II showcases the exceptional talent of Vallarta and delivers a hilarious show with an important message. It shows that drama can be forcefully delivered in Vallarta. The show deserves to be sold out every night. Bravo to all!" ~Tom Bernes 1/6/18 "Act II Entertainment Stages has Done It Again. Where else can you go see a "Play" with such Fine Acting, Great Characters and a Haunting Story Line. "The Foreigner" opening night was a Hit Run Away. Perfectly executed by all the Actors and Directed by Danny Mininni, it is a Show of Shows. Every Actor was the Star. The Set was Amazing and the sound and lighting was Spot on. Lots of Laughs but lots to ponder as the show unfolds." ~David Wilhoit 1/6/18 "It was the best! What a playwright, what direction, and what talent. A winner all round." ~Heather Thomson 1/6/18 "Yet another blockbuster!! Amazing how you all do this for us! Spectacular!!!" ~Francine Peters 1/6/19 "Coming from a fellow thespian That was an amazing opening night everyone was so in sync with each other and it became so believable I felt like I was really at the lodge. Kudos to all!" ~Candace Kepley 1/6/18 "The actors worked together seamlessly in spite of the incredibly lengthy lines they had to memorize. My hat is off to every performer in the cast. Brilliant!" ~Dave Mohr 1/6/18 "What a great show! All-around amazing work! Congrats to all!" ~Derek Carkner 1/6/18 "Great performance by a very talented cast! Amazing to see all the new talent at Act ll this year!" ~Bert Ramirez 1/6/18 ?"Little Shop of Horrors" (#1 Main Stage Musical in the past 6 seasons) A Cult Musical/Horror Comedy Produced by Act II Entertainment Directed by Alfonso López Extended by popular demand…now on Mondays & Thursdays - 7:00 pm One of Off-Broadway's most popular cult musicals, Little Shop of Horrors is the hilarious tale of a down-and-out Skid Row floral assistant, the girl he loved, and a strange new, man-eating plant threatening to tear their world apart. This cult classic was one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows and has become a household name thanks to a highly successful film version and a fantastic musical score! For the past 30 years, people just can't get the catchy music out of their heads! Directed by Alfonso López, the uber-talented director of "Rocky Horror" last year, this beloved horror/comedy/rock/musical is another first-class production at Act II and brings back the sounds and ambiance of the rock 'n' roll era. It stars many of your favorite Act II actors, plus some wonderful new faces, including Maria Rose, Joey Martinez, Alex McLauchlan, Andrew Sands, Shawn Morgan, Eli Estrada, Sasha del Oceano, and Ximena Peña Esparza. It also features the return of Act II Managing Partner, Danny Mininni, to the stage, with his portrayal of the crotchety and hilarious "Mr. Mushnik." With its delightful cast and toe-tapping music, Little Shop of Horrors is a must-see this season! TripAdvisor ????? Very good entertainment! We saw Little Shop of Horrors tonight at Act II. The actors were very talented, the singing was very good and they did an excellent job with the stage and sets. It is great that PV has Act II available to offer some alternative nightlife entertainment. The theater is small and very comfortable and offers an intimate setting. They will serve drinks while the performance continues. I highly recommend going. They have many performances to choose from. ~fossr50, Tomahawk, WI 1/3/19 TripAdvisor ????? "Fantastic, fun and magical. A intimate venue with a very talented cast. Highly entertaining. I highly recommend going to see this." - Scott R, 11/21/18 TripAdvisor ????? ACT II has done it again! Surpassed themselves. WOW! what a Terrific Show! - afield2015 Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 11/17/18 TripAdvisor ????? "Best show ever in Puerto Vallarta. A must see, amazing talent and set design. Would love to see it again." - Michelle S, 11/17/2018 TripAdvisor ????? "Just saw ACT ll's Little Shop of Horrors. I didn't expect the level of professionalism on display, from the sets, acting, singing to the choreography. ACT ll May be a small venue but they definitely put on big shows. Yes it may be a cliche but run don't walk and get tickets for this musical. If your plans are for coming down later in the season go online lots of great shows to come. As a plus they have a great patio to enjoy a drink prior to the show." -rickdj5364YT, Fresno, TripAdvisor - 11/5/18 ?
