Does your child like drama? Would they like the opportunity to be part of a play named "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years"? Asheville Community Theatre is offering the opportunity for your child to be part of the classic Charlotte's Web. Based on the book by E.B. White and adapted by Joseph Robinette all the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed, the Zuckerman family, the Arables and most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be a "true friend and a good writer". This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give actors a great opportunity.
