Charlotte's Web presented by Young People's Theatre of Chicago at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Judging by the reactions of the kids around me, the story hasn't lost any of its power to enchant and move, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wiping away a tear or two at the end myself. Some stories are just hard to mess up, and as a tale about compassion and community (two things we definitely need these days), Charlotte's Web should hit the sweet spot for families."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...The story is about love and friendship as well as co-operation and respect for others. I will add the words of my junior reviewers below, but must tell you about some of the other cast members.Kaylah Marie Crosby handles several major roles and I must say her Goose is adorable, Cameron Nalley is a perfect Templeton and the amazing Dakota Hughes is the narrator, the gander, somebody?s uncle, Avery and a reporter. Lots of character and costume changes, and each special. I think Hughes has been in every production I have been witness to and always fun to watch."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...In this absolutely wonderful new production about ?Some Pig? who becomes famous for the messages woven into a web by his spider friend, audiences will learn so many meaningful lessons about life. Theatergoers will experience a taste of farm life, recall simple nostalgia from a bygone era and, most importantly, be reminded of what it really means to be a true friend. Children will also leave this production with a new appreciation for E.B. White?s charming, heartrending novel after seeing their favorite characters brought to life by this talented cast and guided by one of Chicago?s most talented Directors of children?s theatre. This production is, indeed, Radiant!"
