Google “unlikely animal friendships” and you’ll find YouTube videos with playful pairings of an orangutan and a dog, a sheep and an elephant, a cat and a dolphin, etc. One of the best such relationships has to be the spider and the pig in E.B. White’s classic Charlotte’s Web.
It’s a story that’s perfect for the stage, and Acting Out Theatre Company Bakersfield's production won't disappoint.
The eight-legged Charlotte and pig Wilbur become fast friends, along with other barnyard animals, after she turns him into a fairground star by writing words in her web.
