Children’s of Alabama Partners With Dolly’s Imagination Library

Posted on by Angie

Some sweet news from Children’s of Alabama: little ones heading home from the hospital will now leave with a free book.

In honor of “Give Like Dolly Day,” Children’s of Alabama announced it will serve as an enrollment partner for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Alabama. Through a new pilot program, children under 5 being discharged from any of the hospital’s 24 inpatient units will receive a copy of The Little Engine That Could, the Imagination Library’s welcome book, along with enrollment materials. The hospital hopes to expand the program to its clinics in the future.

“When we give a child a book, we are giving them more than pages and words. We are giving them the opportunity to learn, imagine and find comfort, no matter what challenges they may be facing,” said Jennifer Conway, director of Child Life and Education.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Alabama currently serves 124,000 children across all 67 Alabama counties and has mailed more than three million books since the statewide program launched in 2023.

“The hospital serves young children at such a critical moment in their lives, and to send them home with the gift of reading is such an impactful way to honor Dolly’s legacy,” said Kaelyn Christian, state director for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Alabama.

“We are proud to celebrate Dolly’s legacy, and the positive impact reading can have on the lives of children and families,” said Chandler Bibb, chief development officer at Children’s.

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

Posted on by Angie

He huffed. He puffed. And now he wants a fair trial.

Birmingham Children’s Theatre is bringing The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs to its MainStage this fall — a high-energy musical that turns the classic fairy tale completely on its head.

What the Show Is About

Based on the beloved picture book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the show puts the Wolf on trial for destroying all three pigs’ homes. Here’s the twist: the prosecutor, the judge, and every witness are also pigs, which makes “Piggsylvania’s Trial of the Century” anything but fair. As the case unfolds, audiences get a funny, fast-moving look at perspective, persuasion, and the stories we choose to believe.

“The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs is a great show,” said Director Bethe Ensey. “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 then you can decide.”

Every trial has two sides. This one has three pigs and one big bad wolf — and you’re the jury. The verdict is in your hands.

Stay Awake at Birmingham Children’s Theatre

Posted on by Angie

If your toddler loves a good bedtime story, Birmingham Children’s Theatre has something special coming to its PlaySpace stage this September — and it might just be their first taste of live theatre.

Stay Awake, written by Mary Hall Surface and directed by Mason Elizabeth Greer, follows young Mia and her dog on a journey through Dreamland, where the nightly bedtime routine gets flipped completely upside down. Through rhyme and playful repetition, the show introduces shapes and sounds — all wrapped up in a story that asks: what if bedtime was the best adventure of the day?

This is part of BCT’s Theatre for the Very Young series, made specifically for the wiggling, giggling, not-sitting-still crowd. No shushing required — if your toddler needs to move, make noise, or react out loud, that’s not just okay, it’s expected.

  • Wednesday, September 9th @ 9:30am
  • Saturday, September 12th @ 10:00am
  • Wednesday, September 16th @ 9:30am
