GIVEAWAY CLOSED - Congrats to Kate C

Atlanta’s nationally acclaimed Alliance Theatre will present the children’s classic, Charlotte’s Web, February 23 through March 10, 2013 as part of its Alliance Stage Family Series.  Introduce your children to the kind of theatre magic only found on the Alliance Stage.  Rosemary Newcott, the Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth and Families, directs the heart-warming tale of Wilbur the Pig and Charlotte the Spider, whose clever planning saves him from becoming bacon.  (Scroll down to see how you can win 4 tix)

While remaining true to the story and familiar characters, the Alliance’s version of Charlotte’s Web will uniquely incorporate circus stunts and acrobatics in the production.  Charlotte will be performed by a trained aerialist and will glide above the stage on fabric curtains.  Other skilled performance elements included are juggling, unicycle riding, tumbling, contortion, clowning – and more!

“The idea was born out of the fact that the young protagonist, Fern, is the one who converses with the animals – no one else.  The audience shares in this magic.” said Rosemary Newcott, Director.  “And if we believe they can talk – why might they not also have other sensational qualities. Plus, the County Fair is such an anticipated spark of excitement in a child’s life. We simply expanded the “fantastic” element of the Fair into the barnyard as well.”

Charlotte’s Web will delight old and new audiences with vivid characters and enduring themes of friendship that inspire in a way that only live theatre can.

ONLY 12 PERFORANCES!
Charlotte’s Web will only have twelve performances - Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00pm and 3:30pm, from Feb. 23-March 10, 2013 on the Alliance Stage (except for February 23, when the performance times are 3:30pm & 7:00pm; and March 2, when the performance times are 1:00pm & 4:00pm). Opening Night is February 23, 7:00pm.
