Past Events
ANIMAL GUARDIAN RIBBON AWARD 2024
The wonderful cast and crew were celebrated by Rational Animal at at bowling party where they were presented with the 2024 Animal Guardian Award.
This highly-praised production by Sierra Stages presents a lovely story and with it messages of kindness to animals.
Two messages in particular remind people about the dangers to birds of leaving fishing wire and that feeding bread to ducks and geese make them ill while foods like cut seedless grapes, cooked rice, birdseed, peas, corn, oats and chopped lettuce are better choices.
APRIL IS FOR ANIMALS 2023:
- CRITTERS & COCKTAILS: SINGERS & SONGS
