Following the rousing success of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown last holiday season, Two River Theater is proud to uphold its tradition of producing shows for the whole family with its production this year of Charlotte’s Web. The production will once again be helmed by director Matt Pfeiffer, who delighted kids and grown-ups alike with his production of Charlie Brown. “I’m thrilled to be back at Two River Theater,” said Pfeiffer. “The family show at this theater is always a celebration of the holiday spirit: of family and friendship. With this highly accomplished cast and creative team, I look forward to celebrating this very special friendship—between Charlotte and Wilbur and all the characters in E. B. White’s world—with our audiences.”
Pfeiffer will be re-joined by Doug Hara—who delighted audiences last season as Charlie Brown, as well as Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream—this time as Templeton the rat. He will be joined by cast mates John Ahlin, Aysan Celik, Zach Kleinsmith, Garrett Neergaard, Nancy Rodriguez, Lindsay Smiling, and Maureen Torsney-Weir. The cast also features two local children, Rachel Brudner of Howell as Fern, and thirteen-year-old Matt Hughes of Rumson as Avery. The production features puppetry by Aaron Cromie, who Two River audiences will remember for his puppet work in the theater’s production of Our Town.
