Doors open at 5:30 PM and the night features an open bar, dinner, and plenty of fun&amp;mdash;all for a great cause.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Funds raised at the Bow Meow Gala help ensure every animal at Prairie Paws receives the medical care they need before finding a forever home. From routine spay and neuter surgeries to lifesaving procedures like dentals, ACL repairs, amputations, and enucleations, your support directly impacts animals who depend on us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your generosity also allows us to assist pet owners facing financial hardship, helping keep beloved pets with the families who love them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join us for a night that truly makes a difference&amp;mdash;for animals, families, and our community.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Lion in Winter&lt;/i&gt;, by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action &amp;ndash; the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom.&lt;img alt="" src="https://olathetheatre.org/production/the-lion-in-winter/" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
