It’s a Wrap!
APT was delighted to share this play — adapted by Joseph Robinette from E. B. White’s classic novella — with full-house audiences at most performances. We thank our host, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Allentown, and our other sponsors.
WHEN: July 24-26, 31 & August 1-2
WHERE: St. Luke’s Church, Fellowship Hall, 417 N. 7th St., Allentown, Pa.
You can’t not fall in love with Charlotte, Wilbur, the plucky girl Fern, and the other characters in Charlotte’s Web. Most of them are farm animals who rally to save the life of a pig named Wilbur.
Teague Fernandez directed the adult cast (most in multiple roles) in this lively story of friendship, loyalty, resourcefulness, and loss.
Fernandez also trained a small troupe of children (at APT’s Saturday-morning workshops) for show-stealing cameos as baby pigs and baby spiders.
The hour-long play brings to life the humor and pathos that have captivated adults and children ever since E. B. White’s novella was published in 1952. The book continues to top School Library Journal surveys as the finest American children’s novel.
Charlotte’s Web was APT’s third annual production for children and families hosted by St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in downtown Allentown! Here’s a sample of what our audiences said: “Awesome show!” “A fun play all the way around!” “We loved it!” “A super way to spend a Sunday!” “Amazing as always!”
Our poster/playbill illustration was created for us by Donna Needs, of Zionsville, Pa.
