ABOUT THE SHOWS:

Charlotte's Web
Based on E.B. White's loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman -- she will create a "miracle." Spinning the words "Some Pig" in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution, which not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring madcap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship.

Based on C.S. Lewis timeless adventure, The Chronicles of Narnia, one of the greatest masterpieces of fantasy literature. This remarkably imaginative adaptation created by The Company Theatre's professional touring program for young audiences follows characters of Peter & Lucy, as they recount their travels through a magical wardrobe, to the land of Narnia. There they join with the great Lion Aslan to defeat the evil White Witch! This epic story is filled with themes of friendship, courage and the eternal struggle of good vs. evil.
