Old Sturbridge Village: The Charlotte's Web Experience

E.B. White's Charlotte's Web is one of those enduring novels that keeps entertaining children generation after generation. It has been made into movies and theatrical productions.

Now Sturbridge Village is taking on the challenging of creating a musical version based on the classic story located in an actual farm setting. We had the pleasure of attending the Sleepy Hollow performance at the Village and was amazed at the how they effectively utilized the existing village to create a believable setting for the story. Since this is to take place at one of the Village's farms it sounds like they plan on utilizing the strength of what the village has to offer to bring the story to life.

Performances are being given from July 5-August 26 with two performances a day at 11 and 1:30. You will have to pay general admission for Old Sturbridge Village and then the additional cost for the program. Tickets for the first show are $12 and tickets for the second show are $14. There is a $2 discount for tickets purchased prior to June 15. You can find more information here. While it does state your membership will cover general admission for this event, there is nothing to indicate if library passes or other available discounts can be used to offset the general admission costs during these show days. My suggestion would be to call in advance if you are budgeting a discount as part of your trip.
