The Note

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

Humane League of Philadelphia

For $25, you will enjoy wonderful vegan desserts and wine, live music from Blue Hippopotamus, hear our guest speakers and have the opportunity to win dozens of raffle and auction items from theatre tickets to vegan beauty supplies and lots more!

And along with Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, we are excited to welcome Nathan Runkle, director and founder of Mercy for Animals, as well as Senator Roy Afflerbach, director of Humane PA, an organization fighting to change animal cruelty laws right here in Pennsylvania.

VIP Tickets will get you even more! For $100, you can enjoy a private vegan dinner at Mi Lah Restaurant with our special guest speakers before the main event - a wonderful way to learn from the biggest in the business how they got to where they are today.

If you want to make an even bigger difference for animals, become a Silver VIP for $250! After your vegan dinner at Mi Lah you will also receive a Humane League Messenger Bag with Gene Baur's book, Farm Sanctuary and a DVD of Mercy For Animals' powerful film "Farm to Fridge." For $500, Gold VIPs get all of this PLUS a special vegan gift basket of chocolates and movie tickets.

Don't miss out on this great event! Seats are limited, so order your ticket today!

This sounds like fun! Everyone will be dressed up!

Fri. Feb. 23: Special Midnight Performance
Come dressed as your favorite ghoul (or "Irma Vep" character) and you might win a walk-on part for an evening!
Watch for more details!!

The Mystery of Irma Vep - A Penny Dreadful
By Charles Ludlam
Directed by Frank Avellino

This zany spoof of Gothic melodramas, recently revived Off- Broadway to raves, is a quick change marathon for two male actors portraying a Lord, a Lady, a Vampire, a Swineherd with a wolfish secret, a Sinister Servant, a Mummy brought back from the dead, and an Egyptian tomb guide with an agenda. But who is really Irma Vep?? A satire of several films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, this is side-splitting hilarity of the ranks of the old Carol Burnett comedy skits.

With an occasional jibe that adults will appreciate, this slapstick-silly play is great for almost all ages.
