Monday I had the opportunity to attend another Cocktails That Care event. This time it was in support of two causes; the charity Bideawee and the production of “Dog Park”.

Bideawee’s Mission is to promote and support safe, loving, long-term relationships between people and companion animals by providing a continuum of services and programs that are innovative, personalized, and of high quality. They hope to break the cycle of unwanted or abandoned pets in our world.

“Dog Park” written & directed by Maura Kelley takes place in an Upper West Side dog park that is being closed due to an evil real estate tycoon’s commercialization project. This play spoofs iconic figures and is filled with madcap physical comedy. It also demonstrates useful tactics that communities use to fight for their cause: petitions, “poop” protests, dog-nappings, and an all-night stakeout in the vein of “Occupy Dog Park.”

The Oxygen Network taped portions of the event for the TV Show Jersey Couture and a one hour open bar was hosted by Bootlegger Vodka with appetizers courtesy of Libation. Vendors lined the walls with treats for and clothing for dogs, clothing from Ping and Sassy and The NYC Fashionista, and yummy chocolates from Yes Chocolates (I had the chocolate dipped brownie pop – YUM!), and the always fabulous DJ Teal kept everyone dancing all night long.

Other entertainment throughout the evening included; Lasso twirler, juggler and unicyclist–Harry Moeller, formerly of Ringling Bros Circus & Britney Spears “Circus” tour, Carla Rhodes-Rock ‘N Roll Ventriloquist, and hit singer/songwriter Christy Thompson. Special guests appearances were also made by Xtah C Extraordinaire, The Cast of Doggie Moms, Anthony Scali Star of Jersey Couture, and , American Idol Finalist Julie Zorrilla.
