Elmer is a city-dweller who loses his job, wanders into the countryside and learns to revive a desolate landscape – and his own happiness. The story, inspired by Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree and Jean Giono’s The Man Who Planted Trees, is an interactive event where children play roles on stage and the whole audience creates soundscapes.
There will be art and theatre workshops after the Saturday and Sunday matinees. Piti’s “Spring Seeds Gala” will take place after the May 16, 6 pm show with special guests and audience members invited.
