The Best Medicine premieres at the Paradise Theater

The play tells the story of a father, ill from just about every sickness one could imagine. His good-for-nothing doctors and pharmacists have convinced him that he is very ill and continue to add to his medical conditions with every visit, costing him a fortune.

Coupled with a scheming wife, Mr. Moody; the father, spends his days on a schedule of medications, reports and doctor visits. Well off by his own right, he becomes worried that his medical conditions would leave his only daughter Angie, penniless after his demise.

In an effort to secure his daughter’s inheritance, he schemes to marry her off to his doctor’s nephew, a young practitioner with an unfortunately short attention span.

Scheming wife, Bella is only too happy to ship her stepdaughter off to boarding school while she cares for him. As she pretends not to be interested in Mr. Moody's will, she cannot stop from prying to find out exactly what she would be getting.

After being encouraged by Uncle Hector and the ever sharp housekeeper, Toinette, Mr. Moody agrees to pretend to be dead, to find out how his wife truly feels about him.

A truly spectacular, comedic play. A blast was had by all in attendance.

Costa Maya International Night

Last night the Costa Maya Festival hosted International Night with cultural dance performances by Danza Modernos de Mexico and the Belize Dance Company. Next up was Belize's own Berne who wowed the crowd with rap, hip-hop and reggae tunes. The headline concert by the well-known Reggaeton duo Angel Y Khriz from Puerto Rico had the audience jamming and singing along to all their favorite songs. After the concert the party continued into the wee hours of the morning with the crowd dancing to DJ tunes and socializing.

Costa Maya Queen 2009 Martiza Rivas and the new Costa Maya Queen 2010 Gabriela Asturias could not resist the urge to dance during the Angel Y Khriz concert.

Angel Y Khriz have the crowd singing Ven Baílalo at the International Costa Maya Festival held annually in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize.
