CHARLOTTE'S WEB Comes to The Majestic

E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web," the loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte, will be presented Sunday, February 9 at 3 p.m. at Gettysburg College's Majestic Theater. The show is recommended for children ages kindergarten through grade 5 and is presented by WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital's Healing HeArts Healthy Family Series.

"'Charlotte's Web' is one of the most beloved books for young readers and this production brings all the characters to life including Wilbur the pig, Charlotte the spider, and Fern, the farmer's daughter," explained Majestic Theater Founding Executive Director Jeffrey Gabel.

In "Charlotte's Web" Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, comes up with a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman. By spinning the words "Some Pig" in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution which not only make Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever.
