JOIN US! STARTING SOON! CALLING ALL STUDENTS ages 6-18!! Young Artists’ Theatre Our Young Artists’ Theatre program contains many wonderful opportunities for young performers to step into the spotlight, learn the art of theatre, and bring timeless stories to life! This program, which features a full scale production on our mainstage, focuses on building confidence, creativity, and teamwork as students work together to put on a production. This Season: Charlotte's Web Join us in telling the beloved story of Charlotte's Web! Auditions will take place on the first day of rehearsal, giving every participant a chance to shine. The Children's Literature Association named this "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation. The costumes and unit set may be simple or as colorful and elaborate as you wish; it's the story and relationships that make the show. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." 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.
