Follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook to climb the corporate
ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but
potent dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man," the office party, backstabbing

Adapted by Joseph Robinette. Based on the book by E.B. White.
The Children's Literature 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 theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; 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." This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship, loyalty and trust.
