The Arden Theatre Company kicks off its 2011-2012 season’s Children’s Theatre series with a tried and true classic, Charlotte’s Web, running through January 29 February 12.

This delightful tale by E.B. White about a pig, a spider and their barnyard friends, dates back to the 50’s, but its messages of loneliness, friendship and the cycle of life continue to touch hearts both young and old.

The Arden first presented a stage version of Charlotte’s Web 13 years ago and the company does a mighty fine reprisal. The entire production — costumes, props, scenery, music and lighting — is done with the same degree of thoughtful care and attention that Arden gives to its main stage works.

After each performance of Charlotte’s Web, there’s in a question and answer session with the cast, and children also have an opportunity to meet the actors in the lobby.

Kids love the post-show interaction as well as the free commemorative show poster they get to take home as a souvenir of their theater adventure.

Tickets are available online.
