Puppet State Theatre Company Presents THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES

This multi-sensory theatrical adaptation of Jean Giono's environmental classic tells the inspiring story of a shepherd who plants a forest, acorn by acorn, transforming a barren wasteland. As much a touching tale as it is a hilarious puppet show, "The Man Who Planted Trees" shows us the difference one man (and his dog!) can make to the world.

Suitable for adults and children over 6 years.

In the years before the First World War, in the foothills of the French Alps, shepherd Elzéard Bouffier has quietly taken on the task of planting 100 acorns a day in an effort to reforest the desolate region of Provence in southern France. Over the next several decades and over two World Wars, this man's quiet, solitary works comes to fruition - the region in transformed, life and hope return, and the world is renewed.
