Flight Lessons: A Folk Opera by Deborah Crooks (Matinée) - Santa Rosa
Advertisement
$25 General Admission
Doors at 4:00pm.
Show from 4:45-7:00pm with one intermission
Based on a true story about Peregrine Falcons and humans living at the intersection of wild and urban habitats, "Flight Lessons" is a two-act, multi-character folk opera exploring themes of home, adaptation and recovery. The narrative-in-song follows an urban wildlife biologist who monitors the breeding pair of Peregrine Falcons nesting on a bridge and how their lives intersect with the human inhabitants of the neighborhood after one of the birds is shot. "Flight Lessons" draws upon Deborah's experiences studying natural history and raptor conservation and features an ensemble cast including Deborah, Kwame Copeland, Sean Lightholder, Karen Mitchell, Liz Stuart and Mick Shaffer.
“FLIGHT LESSONS is a full, rich story—the heroine’s journey—that takes us into the world of urban birds.…remarkable and moving.”— Alameda Post
