What happens when a curious kid gets lost in the jungle? A whole lot of fun! This summer, Birmingham Children’s Theatre is bringing The Jungle Book to life with Birmingham Public Libraries — for free!

Your family will be on the edge of your seats as Mowgli befriends Baloo the Bear and Bagheera the panther, outwits a gang of sneaky monkeys, and comes face-to-face with the fierce tiger, Shere Khan, in this fast-paced retelling of the classic Rudyard Kipling tales. It's a perfect outing for young adventurers — no tickets, no fuss, just great live theatre at your neighborhood library this June and July.

Performances are:
Saturday, June 20th at BPL Central Branch
Saturday, June 27th at Five Points West
Saturday, July 11th at Springville Road
Saturday, July 18th at Avondale Library
Saturday, July 25th at BPL Central Branch

There is limited space available at some of our locations so grab your tickets early!
