Scotland’s Puppet State Theatre at the Alden

The man who planted trees

Virginia’s Alden Theatre presents one performance of The Man Who Planted Trees from the Puppet State Theatre Company of Scotland. Based on Jean Giono’s classic novel, this child-friendly, multi-sensory play blends comedy and puppetry to tell the ecologically minded story of a brave man who sets out with his dog to plant a forest and transform a barren wasteland. One man — and one dog — can change the world. Sunday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m. Alden Theatre at the McLean Community Center, 1234 Ingleside Ave, Mclean, Va. Tickets are $15. Call 703-790-0123 or visit aldentheatre.org.
