Script in Hand Junior presents Charlotte’s Web
Join us in the Barn for a heartwarming, magical journey in Charlotte’s Web, the beloved story by E.B. White, brought to life in a captivating staged reading! Perfect for kids and families, this timeless tale of friendship, loyalty, and the power of words will take you on an unforgettable ride through the world of Fern, Wilbur the pig, and Charlotte the wise and loving spider.
When young Fern saves a tiny piglet named Wilbur from being sent to the slaughterhouse, she never imagines how their bond will change both their lives forever. But when Wilbur is sold to the Zuckerman farm, he faces a grim fate—until Charlotte, a brilliant spider, steps in with a plan to save him. With her clever messages written in her web, Charlotte shows the power of friendship and how even the smallest creature can make a big difference.
This intimate, family-friendly staged reading in the Barn features talented young actors from local middle and high schools who bring the magic of the barnyard to life through their voices and imagination. Enjoy the humor, the heart, and the unforgettable lessons of bravery, friendship, and the beauty of life’s cycles in this moving and accessible version of the classic tale.
Whether you’ve read the book or are discovering Charlotte’s Web for the first time, this Script in Hand Jr is the perfect way to experience the timeless story with your family and friends!
Charlotte’s Web is one of my favorite books. Not only did I read it as a child myself, but I also read it to my children. My girls and I would snuggle up in bed, with a mountain of stuffed animals tucked around us, and read a chapter each night. The next day I would get a barrage of questions related to the previous night’s reading…like “do you think the family will let Fern keep Wilbur” or “what word do you think Charlotte will write in her web?,” or “do you think Wilbur will win the medal at the fair?” So it is with great joy that I get yet another opportunity to deep dive into the world of Charlotte’s Web, this time as a play adaptation at the Westport Country Playhouse. This junior script in hand will feature a cast comprised of both children and adults, who will bring this E.B White classic to life. "
