Actors Theater present <i>Bat City USA</i>, a film which chronicles the story of how Austin, Texas was prepared to wage war against a large colony of Mexican free-tailed bats which began to roost inside a downtown bridge. The hoopla drew the attention of world
famous bat researcher, conservationist, and photographer Merlin Tuttle who made it his mission to educate Austin about its misapprehensions about bats as well as the important role bats play in insect control and pollination. Today Austin is not only tolerant
of bats—its Congress Avenue Bridge, with its hundreds of thousands of roosting bats, has been a major tourist attraction for the past 25 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Following the screening of
<i>Bat City USA</i>, there will be a short presentation on the bats of Cape Cod by Dr. Tom French of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. French will be joined by Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary Science coordinator Mark Faherty in a discussion
about bats moderated by Mindy Todd, WCAI manager of editorial and host of <i>The Point</i>.
