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.

Connemara - The Lake City Playhouse
The graveyard is full and it's Mick's
job to do some shovel work so that
there's room for new arrivals. But he
also exhumes the ghosts of his haunted
past — twisted small-town rumors
fuelled by the speculations of a young
dimwit friend, an old alcoholic bingo
queen and a hapless cop. Mick has to
get his hands dirty.
A biting contemporary Irish comedy by
Martin McDonagh, the first playwright
since Shakespeare to have four plays
performed simultaneously in London.
McDonagh has won numerous awards in
recent years, including the Evening
Standard Award for Most Promising
Playwright, and four Tony Awards for
the Broadway production of The Beauty
Queen of Leenane. Mature content. 1320
