The Colonial Theatre presents Charlotte's Web09:37AM / Friday, March 20, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Colonial Theatre will present Charlotte’s Web, a play based on the book by E.B. White on April 5th at 2PM and 4PM. This 60-minute play is recommended for audiences age 5 and up. A baby pig from Hancock Shaker Village’s Baby Animals exhibit will be at the Colonial before both performances.
All tickets for the performance are $10 and can be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street Monday-Friday 10-5, performance Saturdays 10-2, by calling (413) 997-4444 or 24/7 online at www.TheColonialTheatre.org.
TheatreworksUSA’s production of Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. As the tale begins, we discover Wilbur in a tight spot. He is desperately trying to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte works on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman into sparing her friend by spinning a miracle web with the words “Some Pig.” With her efforts, Charlotte not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but she also ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love and the true meaning of friendship.
Charlotte’s Web began its national tour in fall 1993, and has been one of TheatreworksUSA’s most popular productions ever since. Charlotte’s Web is able, as are all Theatreworks USA productions, to play a wide range of venues, from large Broadway-sized performing arts centers in major metropolitan areas to elementary school cafeterias in small towns.
