It’s the story of friendship in all shapes and sizes, and the lengths friends will go to for each other. The Pyramid Players at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre present “Charlotte’s Web,” on stage Feb. 15 through March 15.
In this famous tale by E.B. White, Wilbur the pig is saved from certain doom—first by a little girl and then by a seemingly ordinary spider. The runt of the litter, Wilbur is destined for a short life until Fern, the farmer’s daughter, intervenes. When Wilbur is moved to her uncle’s farm, he befriends several animals. The most intriguing of his new friends is Charlotte, a friendly and wise spider, who reassures Wilbur that she will do everything in her power to assure he has a long and happy life. It’s no easy task. Charlotte must use her cunning and web-spinning skills as well as enlist the assistance of the barnyard animals. And Wilbur learns many valuable lessons along the way – including what it means to be a true friend. Pyramid Players productions are one hour in length and presented without intermission.
