Fern (Leah Eisele) and Wilbur (Alexander Martucci) in Charlotte's Web at Bordentown Regional High School
(BORDENTOWN, NJ) -- Charlotte’s Web, the play for children based on the classic book by E. B. White, will be presented at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 11th at 6:30pm and Saturday, April 12th at 2:00pm. This adaptation by Joseph Robinette tells the classic tale of friendship between a young pig and a caring, intelligent spider.
An affectionate pig named Wilbur (played by sophomore Alex Martucci) befriends Charlotte the spider (played by freshman Persephone Borsuk), who lives in the rafters above his pen. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing of time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.
