" A Passion For Birds "

The Oxford Land Trust will present “A Passion for Birds”, a comic, interactive, educational show, on Friday, November 18.  The show will take place at Quaker Farms School at 7 PM.

     Created and performed by Henry Lappen, “A Passion for Birds” (formerly Birds in Their Habitat) uses realistic, handmade masks to explore how different birds have evolved different shapes and behaviors to adapt to their environment.  Participants get a chance to try on the masks and soar as Eagles, swim as Puffins, and stalk as Herons.

     Henry Lappen has been performing comedy for over 25 years.  He has been an avid student of nature since childhood.  In this show, he combines his love and knowledge of birds, with his comic timing, and artistry in mask making and performing.  Henry studied mime, mask and clowning at California’s Dell’Arte School of Physical Comedy.  He is a member of the Hampshire Bird Club and the Northeast Hawkwatch.  Henry was a Great Blue Heron in a past life.

      The show is sponsored by the Oxford Land Trust.  For more information, please look up www.HenryLappen.com, or contact Peter Petrochko at 203-888-9835 or at ppetrochko@earthlink.net.
