<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%">On Saturday,
June 9, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster will present two
performances of <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">A Sense of Wonder</I>, a
play based on the life and works of Rachel Carson.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%">Written and
performed by Kaiulani Lee, the play has been the centerpiece of regional and
national conferences on conservation, education, journalism, and the
environment. It is being performed at the Museum as part of the national
exhibit, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Awakening Nature’s Voice</I>,
celebrating the centennial of Ms. Carson’s birth.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%">Rachel Carson
has been called the “patron saint of the environmental movement” and the play
depicts her love for the natural world and her fight to defend it. It is the
story of an extremely private woman thrust into the role of a controversial
public figure as the result of the publication of her book, <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Silent Spring</I>. It was this book that
alerted the world of the dangers of unrestricted use of chemical pesticides and
launched the modern environmental movement.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%">Kaiulani Lee
has over thirty years of experience in theater, film, and television and has
received national acclaim for her performance. Dr. Diana Post of the Rachel
Carson Council wrote, “Many in the audience were moved to tears by Miss Lee’s
sensitive, compelling portrayal of Rachel Carson. At the conclusion, all rose to
give Miss Lee a well deserved standing ovation.”</P>
