The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre has announced a special partnership and sponsorship with the Cape Coral Animal Shelter to celebrate its upcoming production of the musical CATS.
As part of the collaboration, the Cape Coral Animal Shelter will be naming several of its adoptable cats after characters from CATS.
Shelter representatives and their feline friends will be invited to a special CATS dress rehearsal, where the cast will meet their real-life counterparts. Broadway Palm will also host a fundraising initiative throughout the run of CATS, selling special “PAWS” donations, with proceeds directly benefiting the Cape Coral Animal Shelter. Funds raised will support the shelter’s mission of rescuing, caring for, and rehoming animals in Southwest Florida.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Cape Coral Animal Shelter on a production that so perfectly aligns with their mission,” said Kathy Bernier, Director of Marketing. “CATS is about individuality, compassion, and belonging — values that resonate deeply with the incredible work the shelter does every day.”
“Partnering with an iconic production like Cats helps shine a spotlight on the animals in our care while bringing together art, community, and animal welfare in a meaningful way. We’re grateful to Broadway Palm for using the power of theatre to help support and inspire love for shelter animals” said Liz McCauley, Executive Director of CCAS. “This partnership reflects Broadway Palm’s ongoing commitment to supporting local organizations and giving back to the community through the arts.“
CATS opens at Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre on February 20th and plays through April 4th. Tickets are on sale now at BroadwayPalm.com.
