Charlotte’s Web

On a small family farm, a young girl is determined to save the life of a diminutive newborn pig.
But the young pig's fate remains uncertain until a courageous and determined spider spins special webs to prove that “Wilbur isn’t just any ordinary pig!” E.B. White’s Newbery Honor Book was recently named the best children’s book of all time (BBC Culture) and the best American children's book of the past two hundred years (Children’s Literature Association). The Young Peoples Theatre of Chicago is the professional children's theatre company in residence at the historic Greenhouse Theater Center. YPT artistic director Randy White notes that "there is such hope in Charlotte's bold declaration, 'You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.' E.B. White’s beloved story demonstrates above all that friendship and empathy are immeasurably valuable. That message resonates–never more so than today."
