'Charlotte's Web' musical performance Monday in Palatine
"Charlotte's Web" will be brought to life in a musical performance for children in kindergarten through fourth grade at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 16, at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood St., Palatine.
"Charlotte's Web" is the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider named Charlotte. When Wilbur's life is put in danger by the farmer, Charlotte writes messages praising Wilbur (such as "Some Pig") in her web in order to persuade the farmer to let him live.
This is a beautiful, knowing musical about friendship that will give students an opportunity to see one of the most popular children's books of all time come to life.
Tickets are $6 and can be purchased in person at the box office, by phone at (847) 202-5222, or online at cuttinghall.org. This performance will be presented by American Eagle Productions as part of Palatine Park District's Family Friendly Theatre program.
