pennyseats.org🎭🌦️ Chasing Clouds, written by Michael Alan Herman and directed by Lauren M. London, opens Friday, November 20th at Cahoots! Set in a world where silver linings are collected and sold, two "cloud farmers" fight to save their livelihood—and their relationship—after an unexpected accident puts everything on the line right before their monthly deadline. This production comes to us from The Penny Seats, known for producing everything from dramas and comedies to musicals, original adaptations, and fresh works by up-and-coming playwrights. They keep our community laughing and thinking all year long. And best of all, you can catch any of their shows for about the price of a movie ticket! 🎟️🍿 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Meet the Pet of the week at HSHV.orgIf you're looking for a feline friend who values deep, meaningful connections over being the center of attention, say hello to Anna, our Pet of the Week from the Humane Society of Huron Valley!At 5 years old, this gorgeous orange lady knows what she likes—and it's a peaceful, low-key kingdom where she is your one and only pet. Because bustling households and young kiddos can overwhelm her sensitive soul, Anna prefers a quiet space where she can practice her elite hide-and-seek skills. 🕵️‍♀️🧡She's a bit of a slow burn, but offer some soft blinky eyes and a little patience, and you'll earn the ultimate honor: a special head bump from a cat who definitely doesn't give them out to just anyone! ✨Anna is currently hanging out in a wonderful foster home (and adopting from foster is a total breeze!). Reach out via email at [email protected] or call (734) 662-5585 to arrange a meeting today. 🏠📞All HSHV residents come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
