Seeking Kids for "Charlotte's Web" Play
Children aged 8-14 are welcome to audition for the "Charlotte's Web" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: A young pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who uses her web to save him from being slaughtered. Charlotte’s cleverness in weaving words like “Some Pig” into her web helps convince the farmer to spare Wilbur’s life. The story explores themes of friendship, love, and loss, culminating in a bittersweet ending with Wilbur carrying on Charlotte’s legacy. Additional info: What to Prepare For Your Audition: Please select one day to attend the auditions. Young actors will sign in and be called in small groups to audition according to the order on the sign-in sheet.
