Noah Durham is radiant as everybody's favorite pig, Wilbur, in Emerald City Theatre Company's "Charlotte's Web." Adapted from E. B. White's timeless children's book, the play tells of a naive pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a small gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur is scared as the fall season nears, because he knows he might end up on the dinner table. So he hatches a plan with Charlotte, a smart and kind spider who lives above his pen, to make sure that never happens. The production is best suited for ages five and up.
