BYU PERFORMING ARTS SERIES PRESENTS
PUPPET STATE THEATRE COMPANY:
“Laughs, heartbreak, war, regeneration, scented breezes, sparkling wit and the best dog puppet ever. Perfect for children and grown-ups. Terrific.”
–The Guardian
Winner of the 2007 Eco Trust’s Eco Prize for Creativity
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 into beautiful woodland. 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 in the world.
Performed by Richard Medrington and Rick Conte Directed by Ailie Cohen
