“Charlotte’s Web” is As Good As You Remembered

“Charlotte’s Web” is As Good As You Remembered

You remember the story: a humble and timid pig named Wilbur discovers bravery and the true meaning of friendship. But when it was performed by Middle School theatre students and directed by Katie Gonring, Middle School drama teacher, the talented and passionate actors breathed new life into the classic tale, infusing characters with selfless love, humor, and whimsy. Vivid sets, costumes, and lighting—all managed by Middle School students—added to the experience.
