On Saturday, June 9, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster will
present two performances of A Sense of Wonder, a play based on the life and
works of Rachel Carson.

 

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, Awakening Nature's Voice, celebrating the centennial of
Ms. Carson's birth.

 

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, Silent Spring. It was this book that alerted the world of the
dangers of unrestricted use of chemical pesticides and launched the modern
environmental movement.

 

 

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."

 

Performances on June 9 at 1:00 pm and 7:30 pm.

$16/member, $20/non-member
