Climate Change ‘Co-opera’ comes to the River Garden

BRATTLEBORO — On Friday, Oct. 27, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Strolling of the Heifers presents the original global climate change “co-opera,” SOS: Secret of the Seasons, at the River Garden, 157 Main St.

Based on songs written by SIT Professor John Ungerleider and Bill Conley, the SOS co-opera is a reflective, participatory musical journey that engages the audience with the external and internal challenges that global climate change is bringing to our lives, according to a news release.

Audience dialogue between thought-provoking songs is designed to move participants from fear and denial to hope and action in response to the threat of global warming.

The title song asks about the local impact of climate change: “Will it still feel like my home, when the leaves don't turn to red and gold, and the ice doesn't cover the fishin' hole?”

This special performance will conclude with a question and answer session with KC Golden, senior policy advisor, climate solutions and Board chair, 350.org.

A sliding-scale admission fee from $8 to $20 benefits Strolling of the Heifers' year-round community initiatives. More information can be found at StrollingOfTheHeifers.com.
