How to Befriend an Eagle: A Global Falconry Tradition
One of the most fascinating human-animal partnerships is the millennia-old tradition of hunting with golden eagles in Mongolia. Dr. Lauren McGough spent two years in the Altai Mountains, living with nomadic families, learning and documenting this incredible relationship between nomadic Kazakh people and wild eagles. Here she takes you on a whirlwind adventure of what it is like to learn to be an eagle hunter, how to earn an eagles' respect, and how to thrive in one of the world's harshest environments with horses, camels, goats, sheep, dogs and birds of prey. She now uses what she learned in Mongolia to rehabilitate young eagles that never learned to hunt in the wild, bringing these traditions to the USA for a species in need.

The Albatross of Midway Atoll
Dr. Lauren McGough spent the previous winter on Midway Atoll counting over half a million active albatross nests. Nearly 70% of the world's Laysan albatross and one third of black-footed albatross nest on Midway, not to mention over a million bonin petrels and endangered species such as short-tailed albatross, monk seals and the Hawaiian green sea turtle. Humans and albatross live in close quarters on this 2.4 square mile Atoll, giving visitors insights into avian behavior that one might never see up close and in person. With its pivotal WWII history, and currently serving as an important emergency runway for airplanes crossing the Atlantic, this little island remains of outsized importance to the world.

Film Premiere - Wings Over Water
From Academy Award®-nominated director Andrew Young, comes “WINGS OVER WATER”, narrated by Academy Award®-nominated actor, Michael Keaton. As the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age, they left an astounding gift of connected rivers, lakes, and wetlands across the heartland of North America. “WINGS OVER WATER” tells the compelling story of three amazing bird species – the Sandhill Crane, the Yellow Warbler, and the Mallard Duck – with extraordinary footage of their fascinating behaviors.
Today, these largely unknown water highways of the prairie wetlands remain an oasis of wildlife, from the herds of bison that still roam part of the Great Plains to the swaying grasslands, wildflowers, and vital honeybees that pollinate our crops and especially for the millions of magnificent birds that migrate along these “flyways”.

The Prescriptions in Concert
HAYS RAGSDALE: GUITAR, LEAD VOCALS / PARKER MCANNALLY: BASS / JOHN WOOD: DRUMS
A timeless rock & roll band for the modern world, The Prescriptions sharpen their sound with Time Apart. Produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) and Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs), the album funnels a half-century of American and British sounds — including taut power-pop, explorative indie rock, jangling heartland hooks, and New Wave nuances — into something sharp and singular. The result is a warm, widescreen follow-up to The Prescriptions' 2019 debut, Hollywood Gold, and its songs balanced halfway between classic craftsmanship and progressive exploration.
Tickets are available now through the Princess Theatre website at: ci.ovationtix.com/36147/production/1184565
