As Fun as a Barrel of Monkeys

The Helping Hands Festivale, scheduled for Saturday, September 28th at WGBH Studios, is shaping up to be quite the evening. The annual benefit for the organization’s Monkey Helper Training and Placement Program includes tasty bites from notable restaurants like Mistral, Sorellina, Teatro, Mooo…., L’Andana, Rialto, Cinquecento, Masa and Trade, as well as a Ketel One martini bar, premium beer and wine, live music from Played Out and a meet and greet with monkey trainers. Spring for VIP tickets to enjoy a pre-Festivale wine tasting from 5:00-6:00pm (the main event runs from 6:00-9:00pm). Ninety-three percent of the proceeds from tickets, which cost $125 or $175 for the VIP variety, will support the cause. Lend a helping hand of your own by picking up a pair of tickets online to get in on the fun, which, to be clear, will not actually include a barrel of monkeys.
