John Sampson, Main Street Productions Board of Directors president, recently presented a check for $410 to Melissa Masterson of the “Friends of Westfield Bark Park.”
Two dollars from each ticket sold to the Westfield Playhouse’s most recent production, ‘The last Romance,’ was donated to the charity.
“We very much appreciate our new partnership and look forward to working together in the future,” Masterson said.
In addition to donating ticket sales, the Playhouse set up a table in the vestibule each night for the Bark Park to give its presentation to Westfield Playhouse patrons, and a small bark park outside the entrance, complete with a few canine representatives, greeted the patrons. The dogs were later on stage in the opening scene of the show.
“‘The Last Romance’ was received very well and with the help of our friends, both human and canine, we were able to present this check,” Sampson said.
On the third and final weekend of the play, Humane Society for Hamilton County also had a display to greet patrons and pass out its information.
