Based on E.B. White’s loving story of a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte, this treasured tale explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte weaves a solution which not only makes Wilbur a prize pig but ensures his place on the farm forever.
Funding for the tours, pre-show activities, and Sensory-Friendly Performance is made possible in part by a grant from Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
