What: Livestreamed benefit show for the Humane Society of New York
Where: Stars in the House YouTube channel
When: Friday, November 27, pay-what-you-can, 8:00
Why: Dogs and cats and other household pets are scratching their pretty little heads trying to figure out why we’re home with them all day every day since mid-March, never giving them an ounce of freedom. Yes, animals have been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis, in different ways than their people are. On November 27 at 8:00, Stars in the House, the tireless charity site hosted by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley that features live play readings and cast reunions, will recognize our furry four-legged friends with a benefit event for the Humane Society of New York, which, during the coronavirus pandemic, has been “doing the daily work of helping those that need help; those owners who may need financial support. More and more we are seeing people from all walks of life that have just lost their jobs and their income, and don’t know when they will be employed again. They know that they can turn to us when their pets need medical attention.” The society’s annual Best in Shows gala fundraiser was canceled, so Stars in the House has stepped in to fill part of the void. Rudetsky and Wesley will be joined by an all-star lineup of Broadway actors and their animals, performing together, featuring Sierra Boggess, Lilli Cooper, Darius de Haas, Andy Karl, Jose Llana, Jesse Mueller, Orfeh, Paige Price, Kate Rockwell, Doug Sills, and Will Swenson.
