White's great-niece, Lindsay Morand, will be in attendance and present her great Uncle's book of "CHARLOTTE'S WEB" to Fern on stage. After seeing the play presented all over the world, Ms. Morand claims Leddy's production is "the best production" she has seen, and that "Leddy Center's presentation is exactly the way her great Uncle would have loved to have seen it portrayed."
