Whitefish Theatre Company
2/21-3/3/2013
"Traditional children's theatre at its best" - The Guardian. All of E.B. White's most 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 Wilbur that "friendship truly is one of the most satisfying things in the world." "Children's theater often relies on an awful lot of bells and whistles. What a treasure then, when a classic story creates that magic all on its own." - Philly Inquirer.
