Bridal shop helps fetch better future for dogs

Posted

On Sept. 15, the Bridal Collection, 4151 E. County Line Road, Centennial, combines resources with Brighter Days Dog Rescue at the store, which sells wedding dresses, accessories, moms’ dresses, pageant gowns and prom dresses.

A few dozen rescue dogs will be available at the site and there will be a wedding ceremony for pugs Phoebe (Phoebe Consuela Banana Hammock) and Chuy (Jesus Rodriguez), accompanied by gourmet dog treats, photo ops, giveaways and activities through the day. Perhaps you’ll find that special pup — or a dreamy dress — or both!

Or support Brighter Days, which rescues dogs from dire circumstances across the country. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. See thebridalcollection.com.

‘The Broken Bone Bathtub’

Well-known metro area artist Lonnie Hanzon and the Enchantment Society present immersive theater performances of “The Broken Bone Bathtub” with Brooklyn-based performance artist Siobhan O’ Loughlin through Sept. 23 at varied locations in the Glens neighborhood of Lakewood. O’Loughlin’s 400th performance will happen while in Denver — she has traveled through the U.S., the UK, Japan and the Philippines with the production, including fringe festivals.

Tickets cost $36 and are available at brokenbonebathtub.com. The performance about a broken hand due to a bike accident — and attendant difficulties — takes place in a bathtub at a private residence for a small audience which becomes the performer’s friends.

One will be informed of the address a day or so before they attend.
