WOB Children's Theatre Visited By Ronald McDonald 10/24

The Sunday, October 24th performance of Charlotte's Web at The Way Off Broadway Children's Theatre will have a very special guest. Prior to the performance, the legendary character Ronald McDonald will mingle with the theater's guests for a meet and greet beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Ronald McDonald, of course, is the iconic mascot of McDonald's Restaurants. The clown character first appeared in 1963 and has since become one of the most recognizable figures around the world. Since 2003, he has been dubbed the "Chief Happiness Officer" of the McDonald's Corporation.
"We are very excited about Ronald's visit," says Justin M. Kiska, Way Off Broadway's President & Managing Director. "Speaking for myself, I grew up with him and we are happy to have Way Off Broadway help to introduce him to a new generation."

Adapted from E.B. White's award-winning children's novel, Charlotte's Web tells the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a barn spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur is in danger of being sent away by The Farmer, Charlotte writes messages praising Wilbur in her web in order to persuade The Farmer to save him. A touching tale of loyalty and sacrifice between friends, Charlotte's Web, a popular part of The Way Off Broadway Children's Theatre Collection, the show runs through November 6th.
