Avon Theater Group Hosting Benefit April 1 At Canton Pizza Eatery

Playhouse 44

AVON/CANTON, CT — An Avon theater group and a well-known Canton pizza restaurant are teaming up for an April Fool's Day fundraiser to benefit the nonprofit performing arts organization.

Avon-based Playhouse 44 has been hosting a series of local cultural events, and it wants to let everyone know that having pizza on April Fool’s Day is not foolish.

That's especially so when the pizza is at American Flatbread in Canton, which is located in the prominent Shops at Farmington Valley, 110 Albany Turnpike, Canton.

American Flatbread is a New England-based, artisan pizza chain with eateries in Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts. Canton is its only Connecticut site.

Playhouse 44 said there are three reasons to get food there on Tuesday, April 1.

"One, the pizza there is outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious choices," wrote Playhouse 44. "Two, by ordering a pie on April Fools' Day (eat-in or takeout) you can support Playhouse 44 in its effort to expand programming."

According to Playhouse 44, the third reason is that guests can win gift cards from Apple Cinemas, Dill Dinkers Pickleball, and the Blue House Bagel Co., all of which donated prizes to help Playhouse 44.

To participate in the fundraiser, folks must go to American Flatbread anytime between 4:30 and 9 p.m. on Tuesday.

Playhouse 44 will receive a portion of the proceeds for every pizza sold that night.

Visitors can also pick up a three-question trivia contest to answer at home, and three people with all correct answers will be selected to win prizes.
