City of Angels MEGA Adoptathon
Berglund Special Events Center
MORE INFORMATION ANGELS OF ASSISI WEBSITE
When you hear the name Angels of Assisi, who are we talking about? Who actually are the Angels? Are they the people who tirelessly work in the shelter & the clinic? Or maybe animals are fallen angels who are brought to health & into homes where they can radiate joy & love the way angels would. Maybe the angels are the volunteers who give their time to little souls needing comfort or donors who give the gift of possibility. Or perhaps the angels are the people who come to shelters, choosing to adopt a pet who needs a home which then provides an extra space for the next animal who needs a chance. What if Angels of Assisi refers to all of them? What if it’s all of us? We could be a City of Angels trying to bring goodness into our community & homes one adoption at a time. Come to the Berglund Center on Sunday, December 10th to witness a gathering of angels from all over the Roanoke area & our neighboring shelters for the City of Angels MEGA Adoptathon. Your adoption story starts here.
Angels of Assisi is an independent, nonprofit animal welfare organization serving SW Virginia and West Virginia. Along with an Adoption Center & Farm Sanctuary, Angels of Assisi offers a Community Pet Hospital, Rural Veterinary Care, Cruelty Investigations, Disaster Response, and a Safety Net Program for those needing temporary help due to domestic violence or emergency situations.

COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.
Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.
HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
