Newton, NC – The Green Room Community Theatre will present a live stage adaptation of the classic children’s novel Charlotte’s Web, by E. B. White. The play is directed by David Brown. The producers are Narrow Coffee & Nosh and Maiden Community Chiropractic.
Charlotte’s Web is one of the top 100 bestselling books of all time and the best-selling children’s paperback book ever. Tony-winning playwright Joseph Robinette’s touching and faithful stage version will make audiences believe this beloved book is coming to life on stage. In rural Maine, Wilbur, a young orphan pig, is loved by his owner, Fern Arable. But the pig is destined to be slaughtered for food, and as soon as he is old enough, the Arables send the pig to his fate on the Zuckerman family farm. A lonely, childless spider named Charlotte, who lives in a dark corner of the Zuckerman’s barn, takes pity on the pitiful little pig and decides to do what she can to save his life. Wilbur is grateful for this mysterious mother figure. Join these barnyard friends who teach us what true friendship is all about.
The play is performed by 34 talented young actors, from ages 7 to 17. Layla Isenhour plays the part of the motherly spider Charlotte. Caleb Lee performs the role of Wilbur. Vivi Lane will play the part of Fern Arable, and Isaiah Hendershot and Jada Robinson play the Zuckermans.
