"...“Charlotte’s Web” might benefit from a subtler sound design: The sweeping strains of classical music that burst out occasionally beg too overtly for audience emotion. But young audiences will perhaps not care that this effect — apologies, Wilbur — is a little hammy."

"...Charlotte (Deirdra LaWan Starnes) is compelling. With sinuous dancer’s movements, she weaves and ripples across the stage, a tender, wise, and charismatic spider. Danny Pushkin is a masterful sheep. Where an old fellow might grunt after delivering a sentence, or puff on a pipe as a kind of crotchety punctuation, the old sheep delivers a line and bleats. These elderly ovine sighs – perfectly timed – are the only animal sound any character makes and are all the more welcome and surprising for it."

Adventure Theatre’s excellent production of Charlotte’s Web speaks to the kid in all of us because it relays a genuine sense of friendship, generosity, care, and caring, for which there are no age limits. We can only hope to have such loyal and trustworthy friends as Charlotte, and strive to be one to others.
