Birmingham Children’s Theatre presents The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus
Avondale Park 4101 5th Avenue S, Birmingham, Alabama
Sheila and her friends decide to beat the summer heat by building the best fort ever—until a clever coyote arrives and sends them on a challenging adventure!
Coming to outdoor and virtual stages this fall, Birmingham Children’s Theatre presents The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus by Eric Coble, directed by Alex Ungerman, and featuring Rebecca Yeager. And to kick off the fall season, BCT is bringing this show to the Avondale Park Amphitheatre for FREE to audiences!
With support from the Friends of Avondale Park and the Housing Affordability Trust, BCT will present an outdoor, and physically distanced weekend of performances at the historic Avondale Park Amphitheater. Performances are Saturday, October 17th at 10:00am and 12:00pm, and Sunday, October 18th at 12:00pm and 2:00pm. These performances are free, though tickets must be reserved in advance due to limited audience seating.
On Saturday, October 24th at 10:00am BCT will host the first virtual public performance of The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus. Tickets start as low as $5 and audience members will be given a virtual code to view the performance from the comfort of their own homes.
Tickets for all events are available through BCT’s website, Eventbrite, or by calling 205-458-8181. More outdoor and virtual performance dates will be added throughout the fall.
Filled with magical realism and surprises at every turn, this heartening story of friendship, ingenuity, bravery, and learning to care for our environment offers a unique twist on traditional storytelling by bringing a menagerie of found objects to life. The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus will captivate and inspire audiences of all ages.
