Meet George—a giant Galápagos tortoise with a big story to tell! Follow his journey among blue-footed birds, sea lions, and other island creatures in this charming true tale inspired by the last tortoise found on Pinta Island. Based in Richmond, Virginia, Barefoot Puppet Theatre brings an “uplifting eco-fable,” as praised by The Smithsonian, that gently explores caring for our planet.
