ABOUT TPAC FAMILY FIELD TRIP
Unlike anything else presented in Nashville or Middle Tennessee, TPAC Family Field Trips are designed to give children and adults a fun, family-friendly experience with live performance. The lively, high-quality entertainment features artists with international reputations and a multi-cultural blend of art with broad appeal to people of different ages and backgrounds.
Performed by Puppet State Theatre of Scotland, “The Man Who Planted Trees” is adapted from Jean Giono’s classic environmental tale about a shepherd who plants a forest, acorn by acorn, transforming a barren wasteland. Two performers operate a host of puppets to tell this gentle, touching tale, which includes hilarious comedic interaction with a loveable dog.
