For more than 10 years, actress Kaiulani Lee has performed a one-woman play entitled “A Sense of Wonder.” The play is the story of one woman’s love for the natural world and her fight to defend it. It is the story of the extremely private Rachel Carson, thrust into the role of controversial public figure. It is a labor of love that celebrates the naturalist and author whose book Silent Spring helped give birth to the modern environmental movement. Kaiulani Lee has performed in numerous plays on and off Broadway and a host of television shows such as Law and Order, The Waltons, and Tales from the Darkside.

ACT I:
takes place in Miss Carson’s summer home as she is preparing to leave. Fighting cancer, she fears this may well be her last visit to her beloved Maine coast.

ACT II:
begins two months later in the wake of the furor over her book Silent Spring. Carson is simultaneously battling the chemical industry, the government, and the press to get her message to Congress and the American people.

A Sense of Wonder has been created with the help and guidance of many of Miss Carson’s friends and colleagues and with permission from the Rachel Carson estate.

Kaiulani’s performance proceeds will benefit Homecoming. Homecoming, a sponsored ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, is committed to the understanding that the human and natural world are one sacred community of life. They fulfill their mission by enabling groups and institutions on Long Island and beyond to grow as responsible members of the universe through projects and programs that promote mutually enhancing human/earth relationships.

Thank you for joining us. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

YOUR FRIENDS AT CCE
