Mar 1, 2, 6-9: Coeur d'Alene - Charlotte's Web - Lake City Playhouse Based on the classic children's novel by E.B. White. Fern is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures – a spider named Charlotte – and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte – who sees miracles in the ordinary – spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is "some pig" and worth saving. 1320 E.
