Little Engine

 


The Little Engine That Could

by Jean Pierce with Music by Sam J. Tumminello

When a stranded train full of toys and treats needs help getting over the mountain, it’s up to a brave little engine to save the day. Though she’s small and untested, the Little Engine faces steep hills and big doubts with optimism, kindness, and the famous words: “I think I can!” Along the way, young audiences learn the power of perseverance, courage, and believing in themselves.

This interactive outdoor performance brings the beloved story to life with lively music, playful movement, and plenty of audience participation!

This production is FREE
to the public.

BCT’S MASK POLICY

BCT’s Mask Policy for the 2022-2023 season will follow closely the recommendations set forth by the CDC based on COVID-19 Community Levels. When Jefferson County is at a HIGH level of community spread, masks will be required of all patrons in the Wee Folks Theatre and Playspace as well as for participants in classes; and, masks will be highly encouraged in the MainStage Theatre. We wish to avoid any outbreaks in the organization because a significant portion of our workforce, specifically our onstage artists, work without the benefit of masks. Behind the scenes, we will continue to follow strict protocols to keep our shows on stage and to create a safe work environment for artists and staff.
