THE TRUE STORY OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS to Open at Birmingham Children's Theatre

Birmingham Children’s Theatre has announced The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, a high-energy musical that turns a familiar fairy tale on its head, opening on BCT's MainStage in September. Performances will run September 26 - October 17.

Based on Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's beloved picture book, the show puts the Wolf on trial for destroying all three pigs' homes — but there's a catch: the prosecutor, the judge, and every witness are also pigs, making "Piggsylvania's Trial of the Century" anything but fair. As the case unfolds, audiences are treated to a funny, fast-moving exploration of perspective, persuasion, and the stories we tell.

“The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs is a great show. It’s fun, the music is catchy, and the audience gets to determine the wolf’s innocence or guilt. Is he big and bad or…maybe…just a neighbor with a head cold trying to borrow sugar to bake a cake? You might think you know the real story, but let us tell you the true story and you then can decide.” — Bethe Ensey, Director

Every trial has two sides. This one has three pigs and one big bad wolf. And YOU are the jury: the verdict is in your hands.
