Current audition opportunity

Charlotte’s Web
Written by E.B. White
Directed by Alicia Hall

Charlotte's Web is a story of friendship between Wilbur the pig and a spider named Charlotte. To prevent Farmer Zuckerman from turning Wilbur into pork chops, Charlotte creates a "miracle." She spins the words "Some pig" into her web, 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.
