Charlotte’s Web – What a story! 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; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be a true friend and a good writer.Please come and enjoy a fun community production that is sure to make you smile. If you are interested in trying out acting or improve on your acting or singing abilities in a supportive environment, I highly recommend St Andrew's Light Theater for a first theatrical experience. If you are interested in learning about stage management or volunteering in any way, please contact the church. Every production, usually with different directors, from the amazing big production of HONK! The Musical (The Ugly Duckling story) to small The Three Fables ice-cream social production, has been a great learning experience for all at a minimal cost.
Come and audition for the next production after seeing this production.
Tickets are available ahead of time as well on the evening of the two performances. Please contact familyfunlearning@gmail.com for tickets to be held for you at WILL CALL table.
ENJOY!

what E.B. White wrote about his inspiration for Charlotte's Web:
"As for Charlotte's Web,I like animals and my barn is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)"
