The Boutique Theatre has been a Puerto Vallarta fixture for over a decade. Our first show here was The Night of the Iguana performed at the CECUTAR over on Zaragosa and Matamorose.  We then moved to a converted garage on Manuel M. Dieguez and opened with Robin’s Hoods. Two years later a larger venue was procured at the corner of Basilio Badillo and Naranjo where we opened with The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  We hoped that to be our permanent home but it was not to be.  In 2014 arrangements were made to renovate the top of Nacho Daddy, a very successful Mex-Tex bar and grill. That year we opened with Nunsense On Vacation In Puerto Vallarta. This is where we finally plan to stay!  Additional renovations in 2015 resulted in an 80 seat theatre with all the trimmings. In 2016 we added a 20 seat balcony AND an upstairs washroom!  This year we plan on adding a second story to the back end to provide for a much needed rehearsal space so please feel free to contribute what you can so we can continue to provide you with the finest community theatre in town. And why not get yourself involved?  The Boutique is always seeking people from all walks of life at any age to participate in the wonderful community of show business!  Actors, directors, painters, ticket sales, graphic designers, carpenters, electricians… all sorts of opportunities to rub shoulders with a very diverse bunch of fun loving people.  Come play with us!

John Swanson Agent Boardwalk Realty His forté might be described as “human relations”.”Getting to know you personally really helps find you the right property” he says. “It’s become a philosophy I adhere to on the job. Buying a home in Puerto Vallarta is as much about investing in your life as it is in property. When we understand what you like to do, why you’re here, what you hope to achieve, then I can truly help find “your place in the sun.” John knows Puerto Vallarta well. As a performing guitar player in the “Texas Embassy Blues Band” everybody knows John as “the guy with the big orange guitar.” As a single dad, everyone knows John as “Donovan’s dad”. These experiences and others have lead to a good knowledge of the town on many levels. “We can really help you before and after the sale. Following up, getting you comfortable here is all part of your new experience. It’s a help to know someone here who has a doctor or knows where to buy fresh fish!” We’ve learned that this follow up results in a great referral network and word of mouth advertising is priceless.” You can see John perform on Friday nights at Nacho Daddy on “restaurant row” in Old Town (Basilio Badillo).

A nonprofit Puerto Vallarta dog rescue organization. Everyone who works for, volunteers with or supports MexPup shares a bond created by a shared empathy for the homeless dogs of Mexico.  That communal connection to animals is what drives our mission to serve the best interests of the homeless animal community in Puerto Vallarta.  MexPup helps people help dogs.  We make a difference.  With your help we can do even more. Our all volunteer group comprises citizens of Mexico, the United States and Canada, who all collaborate in a process that takes a homeless dog from the streets of Mexico, to a foster home in Puerto Vallarta for recovery and spay/neuter, to a Guardian Angel volunteer who transports the MexPup from Puerto Vallarta’s airport to an airport in Canada or the US, to a MexPup foster home, and finally to the (no-longer-homeless) MexPup’s new forever family. Although our organization rescues all kinds of dogs, we specifically focus on small and medium size dogs as there is a greater need for these types of dogs in our base in Victoria, BC.  Our website is used to coordinate with volunteers, feature MexPups available for adoption, promote the spaying and neutering of dogs in Puerto Vallarta and provide a safe and convenient method for donations.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at Karen@mexpup.com (general information in Canada) and Patty@mexpup.com (general information in Mexico).
