Mystery at the Playhouse will benefit Friends of Long Beach Animals

Enjoy an evening of fun and entertainment at the annual “Benefit for the Animals” at the Long Beach Playhouse. Tickets are now on sale for the reception and production on Thursday, April 22.

During the benefit event, the Friends of Long Beach Animals will honor a local “Hero to Animals.” This year the honoree is John Keisler, Bureau Manager of Long Beach Animal Care Services. Keisler is being recognized for his leadership that has lead to significant increases in the “live release rate” at the Long Beach Animal Shelter.

The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a reception and entertainment. Along with opportunity drawings and a door prize, a Silent Auction will be held.

The Playhouse production begins at 7:30 p.m. with the Agatha Christie mystery: “The Hollow,” where an unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at an English country estate.

Tickets for the play and reception are just $25 per person and can be reserved by calling (562) 988-7647. The Long Beach Playhouse is located at 5021 East Anaheim Street in Long Beach.

All proceeds benefit The Friends of Long Beach Animals, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in Long Beach/Signal Hill and promoting responsible pet ownership.
