See Serenbe Playhouse's CHARLOTTE'S WEB Surrounded by Animals

On Serenbe's vibrant farm, bustling with life, growth and enduring love, what more natural tale to tell than that of CHARLOTTE'S WEB adapted from E.B. White's classic children's book.

Wilbur, a charismatic young pig wants desperately to avoid the fate of bacon and ham, and his friend Charlotte, the literate spider, has a plan. Endearing characters tell truths of life, death and harsh realities, as the unlikely duo ultimately proves that love conquers all when you surrender to your fate and bolster the courage to find your place in the world.

This well-known tale will come to life like you've never seen before, surrounded by live animals and vibrant farmland in one of Serenbe's most charming features - the animal village. Your heart will be warmed as you watch CHARLOTTE'S WEB alongside piglets, ducks, cows, horses, and surely a friendly spider or two.

"This classic tale has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember," says director Ryan Oliveti - Artistic Associate at Serenbe Playhouse. "From the book, to the movie, to the play itself, this story has touched people in so many generations and I'm excited to give it a true Serenbe treatment - outdoors surrounded by real life animals! After all, what is more magical than watching CHARLOTTE'S WEB just a few feet from a real pig? In addition to the setting, this version will feature a talented cast of actors playing live folk music to give the production a true home-made, down on the farm feel. All of these elements will combine to create a memorable experience for the entire family this summer!"

CHARLOTTE'S WEB will feature an amazing cast of six actor/musicians including Bretteney Beverly as Charlotte, Andy Terwilliger as Wilbur, Nicole Carpenter as Fern (and others), Mister Fitzgerald as Templeton (and others), Erik Abrahamsen as Narrator (and others), and Hao Feng as Homer (and others).

Oliveti will lead a creative team that includes Music Direction from Chris Bent Davis, Movement from Bubba Carr, Costume Design from Jamie Bullins, and Properties Design from Stephanie Polhemus. The production is dramatized by Joseph Robinette from the story by E. B. White.
