The Company presents the 3rd annual Charlotte's Web, performed live on a working farm as part of the Pioneer Farms Maypole Festival!!!   

Real pigs...real farm...real fun!!!

 

About the Show:

"Some Pig, radiant, humble..."

These are the words spun in Charlotte's Web, high in the barn.Her words tell of her feelings for a special pig named Wilbur whose life she intends to save from Mister Zuckerman, the farmer.

Charlotte's Web is a story of friendship and sacrifice, affection and protection, adventure and miracle, life and death, trust and treachery, and the passing of time.

Based on the popular book by E.B. White, this exciting two -person version of Charlotte's Web tells the story of Wilbur, a pig who desperately wants to live, Fern, a young girl who loves animals, Templeton, a gluttonous rat, a friendly goose, the indifferent sheep, and Charlotte, a spider whose miraculous plan along with her love and friendship, saves Wilbur's life.  Featuring Monica Hester & Damian Gillen.
