“You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.” – Charlotte

E.B. White’s heartwarming classic about the unlikely friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a spider called Charlotte returns to the Martha Cohen stage this holiday season with a brand-new production!

This delightful adaptation follows Wilbur from his beginnings as a scrawny piglet who’s spared from becoming pork chops by a young girl named Fern. But as he grows and begins to cost his owners a fortune in feed, it will take help from all his new farmyard friends to save his life again, including the miraculous talents of a very special grey spider.

A beautiful, knowing play, Charlotte’s Web is a timeless tale that has enchanted audiences of all ages for generations. Through the endearing characters of Wilbur and Charlotte, this cherished story illustrates the enduring power of friendship and promises to capture the hearts of audiences again and again.
