Discovering The Smith Center / Broadway Las Vegas / Performances and Artists
Calling all cat lovers!
With Southern Nevadans highly anticipating the musical spectacular “CATS,” running October 12 through 17, The Smith Center is partnering with the Nevada SPCA animal shelter for a special cat food drive. This includes an opportunity for community members to enter to win a family four pack of front-row tickets to the show’s opening night on Tuesday, October 12.
During the food drive event from September 13 through 27, the shelter will accept donations of cat food, either one case of wet food or one bag of dry food, at its 4800 West Dewey Drive location in Las Vegas.
Donors will receive one entry to win the “CATS” tickets per the minimum requirement of a 24-count case of wet food or a 17-pound bag of food. Those who bring multiple cases or bags are eligible for more entries.
“More than 3 million cats enter animal shelters each year,” said Lori Heeren, Executive Director of the Nevada SPCA. “Even in a relatively small shelter like ours, the need for pet food is huge. We’re thrilled to join forces with The Smith Center to both raise awareness of our mission and help meet the constant need for cat food.”
The opening night of “CATS” at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 12, will mark the return of The Smith Center’s highly popular Broadway Las Vegas® Series.
Sponsored by Southern Nevada Toyota Dealers and University Medical Center, the impressive season also features brand-new musical “An Officer and a Gentleman,” as well as Broadway stage productions direct from New York like the revival of “My Fair Lady.”
Winner of seven Tony Awards® including Best Musical, “CATS” tells the story of one magical night when an extraordinary tribe of cats gathers for its annual ball to rejoice and decide which cat will be reborn.
Mesmerizing elements combine to make this “CATS” production a wholly reimagined version of a beloved favorite, including the original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber (“The Phantom of the Opera,” “School of Rock,” “Sunset Boulevard”).
Featuring one of the most treasured songs in musical theater —"Memory” — CATS runs from Tuesday, October 12 to Sunday, October 17 in The Smith Center’s Reynolds Hall. Tickets are available at thesmithcenter.com.
