Charlotte’s Web Spins “Terrific, Terrific, Terrific” Show April 10 - May 25

Everyone’s favorite friendly spider and barnyard
crew are heading back to the city April 10 - May 25 for all generations to
enjoy their tale of friendship. E.B. White’s timeless story, Charlotte’s
Web, will wow guests at the Center
for Puppetry Arts with its heartwarming wisdom as Charlotte the spider saves
Wilbur the pig by using her wits, words and webs. With the help of some of the
barnyard’s most colorful residents, including Templeton, the gluttonous rat,
this family favorite shares the enduring message of how friends can work together
to overcome adversity.

Adapted by Joseph Robinette and directed by Jon
Ludwig, Charlotte’s Web features a variety of puppetry styles performed
by skilled puppeteers Dolph Amick, Brian Harrison, Reay Kaplan, Amy Sweeney and
Tim Sweeney. All of the puppets, props and scenery bring the iconic
illustrations from the book to life on stage and were created onsite by the
Center for Puppetry Arts’ talented staff.
