Based on the b ook by E.B. White.\n\nDirected by Megan Dunbar\n\n“The Children's Litera ture Association named this "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years\," and Joseph Robinette\, working with the advice of E. B. White\, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and u tterly practical theatrical presentation.  All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur\, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avo id the butcher\; Fern\, a girl who understands what animals say to each ot her\; Templeton\, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed\; the Zuckerman family\; the Arables\; and\, most of all\, the extraordinary spider\, Charlotte\, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur\, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes\, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte.\n\n2nd STAGERS:\n\n\n\n By Pat Lydersen\n\nDirected by Sydney Brockway\n\n“The pirate craze isn ’t just a modern phenomenon\, it dates back to Shakespearean times\, acc ording to two witty narrators in this snappy comedy. As the story goes\, t he star of a popular pirate play — The Fearsome Pirate Frank — is the teenage heartthrob of every girl in Shakespearean England\, even though he can’t remember his lines for the life of him! However\, when the actor playing Frank and his supporting cast\, including prima donna Esmerelda\, get kidnapped by real pirates during one of their productions\, it’s goo d-bye stardom\, hello servitude on a real pirate ship! The narrators and a stream of hilarious sign-carriers keep the show moving as we see the pira te actors swabbing the decks under the orders of the real pirate Frank\, w ho happens to be a woman. But pirate actors are not the only ones hijacked in this comic romp... so is the plot from a particular popular pirate fli ck! In a chilling flashback sequence\, the tale of how Captain Frank recei ved the ’Blackmark” comes alive as we see her send her crooked captain to walk the plank. Nightmare sailors\, zombie pirates and hypnotizing mer maids fill this zany spoof with pop culture — even Spiderman makes an ap pearance!”\n\nMay 2\, 2019  9:30am and 12:15pm\n\nMay 3\, 2019  7pm\n\ nMay 4\, 2019   2pm and 7pm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theatrewoodstock.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2019/01/Logo.png CATEGORIES:Performance ST,Performance ST 1,Performance ST 2 LOCATION:The Market Centre\, 22 Reeve St\, Woodstock\, Ontario\, N4S 8X8\, Canada GEO:43.1294387;-80.75595699999997 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=22 Reeve St\, Woodstock\, O ntario\, N4S 8X8\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Market Centre:geo :43.1294387,-80.75595699999997 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Toronto X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Toronto BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
