The Theatre School Presents CHARLOTTE'S WEB, Opening 12/1

The beloved children's classic, Charlotte's Web, will be presented Dec. 1-4 by the North Coast Repertory Theatre School. Written by E. B. White and adapted by Joseph Robinette, the play tells the story of Wilber the Pig, who desperately tries to avoid the butcher block by enlisting the help of his clever friend, Charlotte, the Spider. Along the way, they meet many new characters and discover the true meaning of friendship.

Performances will be held Thursday, Dec. 1, at 5 pm; Friday, Dec. 2, at 10 am, 12:30 and 5; Saturday, Dec. 3, at 2 and 5; and Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 and 5.

Tickets to Charlotte's Web are $12 adults and $9 for children 17 and under.

To celebrate the closing of the show, the School will hold a "Country Fair" Fun Fundraiser at the NCRT Barn, aka, the Café, from 3:30 to 5:30. The festivities will include farm animals, delicious food from Jimbo's and Nothing But Bundt Cakes, games and prizes. All proceeds go directly to fund Theatre School productions.
