Imagine you let your cat outside but that it doesn't come home for more than 24 hours, and when it finally does, you notice that the cat has been shot. The cat survives, but you have to put off your own surgery to pay for his... and then, the story gets worse. The story is true and if you're in the giving spirit this holiday season, watch this video and visit the website to help a fellow Kentuckian who really, really loves his cat Chester.
(DISCLAIMER: Derrick was on staff at NKU in the Radio & Television department while I was an undergraduate there. So, I can say with certainty, this guy loves his cat... and is worth some of your attention.)
I mean, really?! Can you believe all that? Help if you can. For more information, please visit: Helping Chester

THEATER GROUP'S NEW COVINGTON HOME IS COVERED IN CITYBEAT
Showbiz Players, one of the region's top community theaters, will be moving their summer season to The Carnegie. Look what CityBeat theater writer/critic Rick Pender has to say about the move:
Showbiz Players, which marked its 25th anniversary in 2011, has performed for a while at Xavier University and then at the Madisonville Arts Center. Now they’ve decided to move to a venue that’s fast becoming a respected spot for excellent theatrical entertainment, the Otto M. Budig Theater at Covington’s Carnegie Center. Showbiz plans to inaugurate its new home with the regional, non-professional premiere of Avenue Q, an irreverent Tony Award winner from 2004.
