Press release from Niles Township High Schools District 219: The 2020-2021 Niles West Theatre "at home" season continues with the family classic Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's Web will be available for streaming from October 23 – October 25. Please go to www.nileswesttheatre.com to fill out the form for complimentary "tickets." After completing the form, patrons will receive an email with the link for viewing and the required password. Please join Fern, Wilbur, Templeton, Charlotte and many other classic characters as Niles West Theatre presents an "at home" production of Charlotte's Web. Based off of E.B White's beloved novel, this show embraces the key themes of acceptance, hope, open-mindedness, and loyalty. In an effort to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." This marks the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give audiences of all ages a wonderful reminder of what is pure and good in the world.
