NEWS RELEASE
CENTRE WELLINGTON THEATRE PRODUCTIONS
*************************
Centre Wellington’s newest theatre company – Centre Wellington Theatre Productions - presents Charlotte’s Web, a heartwarming story that will delight audiences of all ages, adapted by Joseph Robinette, based on the popular book, and directed by Jennifer Milne.
Wilbur, the runt pig, is born on an idyllic farm, and nurtured by Fern, the farmer’s daughter. When news of his impending doom comes, as it does for many livestock, his animal friends, especially a creative spider named Charlotte, conspire to save his life by having him win the 1st prize at the county fair. With the aid of a variety of colourful barnyard characters, including a rat named Templeton, Charlotte weaves descriptions such as “Radiant” and “Terrific” into her web for all to see, so that they understand that Wilbur is “Some Pig,” thus saving his life.
Close to fifty community members of varying ages, experience and walks of life have come forward to contribute to the launch of this very special company, including a generous startup donation from Price Team Mortgages.
The presentation for schools has completely sold out, and tickets for the general public on Nov. 15,16 and 17, are moving quickly. Don’t miss being part of this memorable community theatre event!
Tickets can be bought through The Grand Theatre, St. Andrew Street, Fergus, by calling; 519-787-1981, or by accessing the theatre website.
