The Den Theatre to Partner With The Anti-Cruelty Society for its First-Ever Puppy Bowl
Hosted by comedian Joe Kilgallon, the Puppy Bowl includes a complimentary brunch buffet. For the kids, there will be coloring stations and more.

It's the perfect kick-off to your Superbowl Sunday! The Den Theatre is partnering with The Anti-Cruelty Society for its first-ever Puppy Bowl on Sunday, February 12 from 12:30 pm - 3 pm at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood (doors open at 11 am). The Den's Heath Mainstage will be transformed into a mini-stadium where our four-legged friends will battle it out for the championship title! Who will be crowned MVP (Most Valuable Puppy)? More importantly, can you be penalized for being too darned cute?
Hosted by comedian Joe Kilgallon, the Puppy Bowl includes a complimentary brunch buffet, and the bar will be pouring mimosas and The Den's signature Bloody Marys all afternoon. Several pet-friendly vendors, including Treats de Cuisine, will be on-hand. For the kids, there will be coloring stations, face painting and a full kiddie cocktail menu.
Tickets ($26 adults, $19 children) are available at thedentheatre.com. All ages welcome! A portion of all ticket proceeds will go to The Anti-Cruelty Society to help rescue, shelter and foster animals.
Please note: puppies are not available for adoption at the event. For information on adopting or fostering a pet, please visit anticruelty.org. No outside dogs permitted.
COVID safety: The Den Theatre no longer requires patrons to offer proof of vaccination for COVID-19 to gain entry into the facility. For the most up-to-date information on our venue's COVID precautions, please visit thedentheatre.com/covid19-policy.
