Raleigh Little Theatre to Present CHARLOTTE'S WEB

The 15/16 Youth Series at Raleigh Little Theatre concludes with a stage adaptation of E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web". The play is directed by Nikki Dyke, Founder and Director of Clayton Youth Theater, in her debut at RLT.

"It's humbling to work on a piece that is considered a classic in children's literature, as the story, and its timeless message of what it means to be a friend, resonates with so many people. For some in the audience, it will be their first experience with the theater and I'm honored to have a hand in introducing E.B. White's story to a new generation of children; for others, it will be a chance to reminisce on their own childhood and their first encounter with "Charlotte's Web." As a director, it's exciting to be a part of this nostalgic exchange of traditions and memories," said Dyke.

"Charlotte's Web" runs April 8th - 17th in the Cantey V. Sutton Theatre. The adaptation is by Joseph Robinette. Tickets for all events at RLT can be purchased by calling the box office (919)-821-3111, Monday through Friday, noon to 5:00 p.m., or by visiting the theatre's website at www.raleighlittletheatre.org.

On April 17th, the North Carolina Museum of Art will hold a free art making event for the whole family in the Raleigh Rose Garden from 11:30 to 4:30. More information can be found at the NCMA website at http://ncartmuseum.org/calendar/event/2016/04/17/pop_up_art_in_the_community/1130.

On April 20th, RLT will have a special audio described performance of the play sponsored by a City of Raleigh Arts Commission Technical Assistance Grant. Tickets for this performance are discounted and are just $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
