USA’s production of Charlotte’s Web, a play with incidental
music is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the
friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray
spider named Charlotte. WIlbur has a problem: how to avoid
winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true
friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman - she will
create a “miracle.” Spinning the words “Some Pig” in her
web, Charlotte weaves a solution which not only makes Wilbur
a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. This
treasured tale, featuring madcap and endearing farm animals,
explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of
friendship. |

 Introducing
the latest and greatest in the grand tradition of
crime-solving detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe
and Charlie Chan… Nate! Nate the Great, that is. This
pint-sized young detective has found lost balloons, books,
slippers, chickens, and even a lost goldfish. But when his
neighbor Annie asks for help in locating her missing
painting, it takes all of Nate’s derring-do to solve the
toughest case of his career! Although Nate believes that
great detectives work alone, he finds that unraveling
mysteries is easier (and a lot more fun!) with a partner.
And a big plate of pancakes. A new musical about teamwork
and friendship (imaginary and otherwise). |
