Turtle Takes Her Time
Turtle is different than her friends. Hare is fast, Monkey loves to climb, and Frog is great at tying shoes. But Turtle doesn’t know where she can shine. With the help of her friend Snail, and some self-reflection, Turtle learns the power of persistence.

BCT is extremely excited to bring you this BRAND NEW digital content as we all continue to stay safe and shelter in place. We hope you enjoyed our puppet show today! In an effort to bring theatre to the homes of children in Birmingham and beyond, Birmingham Children's Theatre will be producing a series of original puppet shows. Each Wednesday at 9am, a 10-15 minute show written, performed, filmed, and edited by the BCT team will premiere on our Facebook page and here, on our website.
