Portland, Maine - Join cast members from the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine’s new production of Charlotte’s Web at the Children’s Library on Saturday, June 22, 2013 when they perform a scene from the play. Following the scene, Theatre Artistic Director Reba Short will lead the audience in some interactive storytelling based on E.B. White’s classic tale.

The complete production of Charlotte’s Web runs from July 19th-28th at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine.  The play is an adaptation by Joseph Robinette, based on the book by E.B. White.

Meet Wilbur, the irresistible young pig; Fern, a girl who understands animals; and Charlotte, the extraordinary spider who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer." Charlotte writes miracles in her web, including the memorable words that just might save Wilbur. This heart-warming story is set on a Maine salt water farm.
