CHARLOTTE'S WEB to Play Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre, 11/1

Young audiences will learn moving lessons of friendship and love delivered by a most unlikely duo - a spider and a pig! - as Theatreworks USA presents the heartwarming musical "Charlotte's Web" at Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre. Performances are on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

Theatreworks' production of "Charlotte's Web" is based on E.B. White's tender tale 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 comrade, 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 that not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring mad-cap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love and the true meaning of friendship.
