The Averett Theatre Players are hosting a drive!🐾

As we prepare for “Lucky Stiff,” which opens in 4 days, we wanted to share with you exciting news. Your cast is very passionate about their furry friends. Whether dog, cat, snake, or any little creature, we all love our pets the same.

In the United States, there are over 3 million dogs, and other animals, who need forever homes. Animals who need love, care, and medical attention (if necessary). We urge you to adopt your furry friends if you are seeking for one.

In “Lucky Stiff,” dogs are a prominent plot point in the show. We are very pleased to tell you that we will be accepting donations, during our Thursday, April 16th to Sunday, April 19th performances that will be donated to the Danville Area Humane Society .

Anything is appreciated. Whether it is food, toys, or treats, for any animal, we would love your help. If you could, please share this post to spread the word about our drive. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and we look forward to seeing you in 4 days!🎲
