We are excited to host Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man at Tree Pittsburgh September 28-October 1! Get your tickets at treepittsburgh.org/ezell-ballad-of-a-land-man today.

Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man is an environmental, cultural, and spiritual parable derived from living in the foothills of Appalachia, one man among many seeking to make sense of the time, place, and condition in which we live. The performance of Ezell is surrounded by an immersive experience that calls to our collective desire for connection and belonging, that reveres nature and binds us intimately within its embrace, that invokes the resilience, love, and lessons of our ancestors and generations yet to come.
