Inexpensive (or even free) musical and theatrical events are often presented at Centro Universitario de la Costa (CUC). Performances include experimental and classical theater. Productions are in Spanish, but because they are very visual, they're enjoyable even if you don't speak the language. Check the principal newspapers El Tribunal de la Bahia and Vallarta Opina for upcoming events. Tickets are usually $5 to $10.
