Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit
5th-14th December
The play whirls audiences into a sparkling comedy of manners—with one very inconvenient ghost—when novelist Charles Condomine invites a quirky medium to conduct a séance for “research,” he accidentally summons the spirit of his late wife, who refuses to return to the afterlife quietly. Mischief, jealousy, and supernatural chaos ripple through his once-calm household. Witty banter and sharp humor keep the pace brisk, while the absurdity of the situation grows to delightful extremes. It’s a playful reminder that the past has a way of showing up… whether we invite it or not. This production promises laughter, a touch of mystery, and a charming escape from the ordinary.

The patron saint festivities in Ajijic - 2025
The patron saint festivities in Ajijic, held each year from November 21 to 30 in honor of Saint Andrew the Apostle, bring together nine days of religious ceremonies, processions, traditional dances, local snacks, a village fair, and dazzling castillos—towering handcrafted firework structures—organized by different community guilds.
This long-standing tradition, which blends faith, culture, and community spirit, attracts local families, returning “hijos ausentes” (residents who come back from abroad for the celebration), and countless visitors.
It has become one of the most vibrant and representative expressions of Ajijic’s traditional way of life.
