Whisker wonderland
Big Monkey Theatre’s family show in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens next summer will portray the beloved story of Alice in Wonderland.
As Big Monkey began to put the show together it became apparent that its crew may need a Cheshire Cat and sought out a happy, smiling puss than the Ten Lives Cat Centre.
Both Ten Lives Cat Centre and Big Monkey Theatre were beneficiaries of support from an anonymous benefactor who asked the Alice in Wonderland crew to pass on $4000 to help Ten Lives with its valuable community service of providing care and shelter for unwanted and abandoned cats and kittens.
Ten Lives chief executive officer Noel Hunt said the centre was always delighted to receive such generous cash donations as it enabled the staff to prioritise and direct the funds into areas of greatest need.
“This donation also comes right in the middle of our 2024 tax time appeal and it may motivate others to make similar commitments,” he said.
Tickets for Big Monkey’s Alice in Wonderland are now on sale through the Theatre Royal box office www.theatreroyal.com.au/tickets
