ESCONDIDO HUMANE
SOCIETY TRADES
IN REAL LIFE FELINES FOR THE MYTHICAL SORT
ESCONDIDO,
CA—September 9, 2002—Escape to a make-believe world where cats wear hats and
lions take advice from wise old baboons.
Friends of the Escondido Humane Society are invited on two theater
excursions, the Lion King and Seussical the Musical, each to benefit the humane
society’s cat adoption and humane education programs.
On October 12,
journey to the savannah to watch the award winning musical The Lion King
onstage at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles.
Patrons receive deluxe bus transportation, a gourmet box lunch and a
preferred seating for the 2 p.m. matinee.
The bus will depart from Escondido.
During the bus ride up, an EHS speaker will give a talk on cat health
and behavior. The package cost,
including a tax deductible contribution, is $120.
On October 29, revisit
Dr. Seuss’ madcap characters in Seussical the Musical at the San Diego Civic
Theatre. Each guest will enjoy a discounted
price of just $48 per ticket for reserved seating in the theatre’s preferred
seating locations. Guests can opt to
join the star of the show, Cathy Rigby, and her fellow cast mates at a private
cast party after the show at the nearby Westgate Hotel. Tickets to the cast party are $25.
Tickets
for both shows can be purchased online or by mail. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the
Escondido Humane Society. To purchase
