Grades: 6-12

January 15, 2026
This show has a 90 minute run time

This exciting, new musical version of Charlotte’s Web brings a new dimension to E.B. White’s beloved classic. With music and lyrics by Charles Strouse (Annie‘Bye, ‘Bye Birdie) and book by Joseph Robinette (national award-winning children’s playwright) your audiences will thrill to a musical score which includes “Eating,” Wilbur the pig’s humorous yet poignant song about growing up; “Who Says We Can’t Be Friends,” an enchanting duet between Wilbur and his new-found companion Charlotte; “Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn,” featuring all the story’s unforgettable animals in a hand-clapping, toe-tapping hoe-down; and “Summer,” a haunting, nostalgic chorus number which evokes a time and place from everyone’s childhood. This joyous musical offers your audiences a very special experience.

Theater Etiquette

The audience plays a key part in the overall theater experience. Each audience member affects those around him or her as well as the performers. Remind your class that everyone will have an especially wonderful time at the performance by remembering their theater manners.

Here is how students can help:

    Remain Seated

    It is important to remain seated throughout the performance.

    Visit Restroom Prior To Seating

    Restroom visits are best made prior to seating.

    No Photography or Recording

    Photography and recording during the performance are not permitted.

    Enjoy The Performance

    Give your full attention and energy to the performers. In return, the performers give it back to you with a better performance.

    No Talking

    Don’t talk during the show unless you are asked.  Sometimes we think that if we whisper, it is okay.  But if everyone in the audience whispers, it can be disruptive to the performers.

    Turn Silent Mode On

    Turn watches, pagers and cell phones to silent.

    Do Not Interrupt

    Do not interrupt performers with comments that may disrupt the performance for others.

    Show Appreciation

    Show the performers your appreciation for their efforts by applauding.

    Your cooperation will ensure a well-focused environment for everyone to enjoy, cherish & remember.

    THANK YOU!
