The play was supported in part by the Juliet Judge Twomey Memorial Trust and the Framingham Rotary Club

Here are a few comments from our audience (from unsolicited e-mails!):

"Charlotte's Web was terrific!  My children were mesmerized the entire time (running time was just right, too) and they cannot stop talking about it.  Congratulations!"

"You couldn't have picked a best cast of characters!  I thought Fern, Wilbur and Charlotte were just so PERFECT.  I congratulated all of them and I particularly told Charlotte how I just loved the way she moved her body. Exquisite!  And her voice was so gentle and compassionate.

Congratulations...you and your group do a wonderful job."

Prana Productions was delighted to produce this theatrical version of E.B. White's delightful children's book Charlotte Web.  Charlotte's Web is one of the most beloved books in all of children's literature and this lovely adaptation by Joseph Robinette captures its charm. The story of a down-to-earth pig, Wilbur, and the intelligent, loving spider who saves his life, Charlotte's Web appeals to children and adults alike.
