Together We Are Ready for Our Next Act!
Featured Partner: The 5th Avenue Theatre
Two spectacular ambassador animals stole the spotlight at The 5th Avenue Theatre during a special, private visit to the iconic Seattle space. Bolivar the 16-year-old red-footed tortoise took to the stage for an actor’s eye-view of the theater. For his theatrical debut, Bolivar showed off the striking red spots on his legs – it’s where the species gets its name! – and really came out of his shell (…not literally, of course). Henry the 7-year-old blue-tongued skink took a role behind the scenes in the spot booth. His striking blue tongue is a show-stopper and would make him a star on stage, but his calm demeanor made him very agreeable to his backstage duties.
