Description
Based on the best–loved children's story of all time and winner of The Newbery Honor, this production gives students the opportunity to see a well-known story performed by professional theater artists. Discover the true meaning of friendship and life's everyday miracles. Get caught in Charlotte's web to save Wilbur, the "radiant" and "humble" pig, and make friends once again with all his loveable barnyard neighbors. One of the first books ever written for children exploring issues of mortality, CHARLOTTE'S WEB is an emotional tribute to friendship with universal themes depicting courage, compassion and the ever-changing cycle of life. This show is performed in Dallas Children’s Theater’s Baker Theater where students can rehearse their role as attentive and respectful audience members.
