In his classic and beloved novel, E. B. White tells the memorable story of Wilbur (John Henrikson), a little pig who becomes famous with the help of his clever spider friend Charlotte (Alma Cooper) and their chatty animal neighbors. As the runt of the litter, Wilbur struggles to survive from the very beginning. A young girl named Fern (Kyra Macomber) begs her father to raise Wilbur and nurse him to health. Fern succeeds and Wilbur moves to Zuckerman Farm, where he learns the true meaning of friendship. When it becomes apparent that Wilbur is being well fed for a reason, Charlotte and Wilbur are determined to foil Mr. Zuckerman’s (Kyle VanZwoll) plans. With the help of Charlotte and her “terrific” webs, Templeton (Forrest Colson) the rat, and other barnyard friends, Wilbur becomes the prize-winning pig of the County Fair and the most famous pig ever. Lessons of friendship, loyalty, and truth bind this story together and show theatre goers that friends come in all shapes and sizes.
