Organized by local dancer/choreographer Melissa Castillo, Cartelera Escenica is a series of Friday evening performances that take place on an ongoing basis at Puerto Vallarta’s CECATUR Auditorium (corner of Zaragoza and Matamoros, El Centro).

Melissa Castillo, who was recently profiled in Vallarta Lifestyles, continues through the month of June with a series of theater and dance performances featuring local and visiting artists. And while most of the theater performances are spoken in Spanish, they provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about the local cultural scene (and practice your language skills!). Affordably priced at $50 pesos per person, each evening is worth considering. All events begin at 8:30 pm. Learn more about Cartelera Escenica on their Facebook page.
