This summer, join us for our production of “Charlotte’s Web”!
ABOUT THE SHOW
The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give the audience an evening of enchantment.

COST
To make our production as accessible as possible, we ask for a donation of $350 per actor. This will cover scripts, show rights, building supplies, costumes, programs and more. We will offer partial and full scholarships for those with hardships and budget constraints for which a form will be made available. On the flip side of scholarships, we will be in need of sponsors from our community.
