It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give your actors a great opportunity and your audience an evening of enchantment.</p><p style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" class="">Charlotte's Web is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.</strong> </p><p style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Directed by: Sarah Jane Toy</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><div style="text-align: center;" class="">Auditions will be held on Tuesday, April 30th, and Wednesday, May 1st from 7-9pm</div><div style="text-align: center;" class="">Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on Friday, May 3rd. </div><div style="text-align: center;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: center;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: center;" class="">TO SIGN UP FOR AUDITIONS - </div><div style="text-align: center;" class="">Please visit <a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-charlottes" class="">https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-charlottes</a></div></p><div class=""><br class=""></div><p style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="">All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script.
