Theatreworks' production of Charlotte's Web is based on E.B. White's loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman -- she will create a "miracle." Spinning the words "Some Pig" in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution which not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring mad-cap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship.

In conjunction with the The Diary of Anne Frank, the Playhouse will display a sculpture created by students at the Neighborhood Studios in Bridgeport. The Attic Sculpture, which will remain on display in the Playhouse lobby through the end of October, will be the collective result of each student’s individual artistic responses to reading the diary. The project is guided by Steffi Friedman, a sculptor and teacher who was a Jewish teenager in Nazi Germany. When her family fled Germany two weeks before Kristalnacht in 1938, they escaped to Amsterdam and settled one block away from the famous annex where Anne Frank and her family went into hiding.

This enchanting musical is based on C.S. Lewis' adventure story about four children of war-torn England, who accidentally enter the land of Narnia by climbing through a magic wardrobe. This strange and wondrous place is ruled by the cold-hearted White Witch, who makes the winter last year round. Although they seem unlikely saviors, the children fulfill an ancient prophecy by defeating the witch, thus restoring sunshine and peace to the spell-bound Narnia and returning the great Lion King Aslan to his throne.

"Conveys the inspirational magic that has captivated young readers for decades."
