School Day Performances

Charlotte’s Web

Charlotte’s Web brings E.B. White’s beloved story to life on stage in a heartwarming play about friendship and kindness. When Wilbur, a young pig, learns he’s in danger, Charlotte, a wise and caring spider, weaves words into her web to save him. With unforgettable characters like Fern, Templeton the rat, and the Zuckermans, this play is a celebration of teamwork, compassion, and the miracles that happen when friends work together.

About this Program

Theatre in the Grove is scheduling 3 days of performances on February 11th, 12th, and 13th at 9:30AM and 12:30PM.  Running time of the performance is approximately 95 minutes.  The afternoon show concludes by approximately 2PM.

Prices

Tickets are $8 per person; however, Theatre in the Grove believes strongly in making the arts accessible for all. If you feel that your student body would qualify for a reduced ticketing price of $5 (such as being a Title 1 school), please let us know so that we can work together to ensure that your children are able to join us for this memorable experience.

How to Participate

Reserve your space today.  We will schedule your performance time and then invoice you. Your school must pay in advance.  Your school is responsible for transporation and providing chaperones during the performance.  

This is a very popular program and our capacity is limited.  We recommend that you reserve your spot as soon as possible. We fulfill requests based on a first come, first served basis. In addition, we apologize in advance if we are not able to fufill your first or second choice of showtimes.

Safety

Please note that we restrict ticket sales of performances during the week to students, chaperones, teachers, and our staff to maintain a safe environment for students attending.  Our volunteers have been background checked.  We work with the school districts to ensure that classes are seated together.

We look forward to filling our theatre with the sound of your students’ laughter!  For more information, please contact education@theatreinthegrove.org.  To reserve your class’ spot, please fill out the reservation form.

How it Works

Step 1: Reserve a block of seats for your class. This does not commit your class to actually attending, but it does allow us to reserve a block of seats for your class.

Step 2: We will then contact you to get a final headcount for those attending.  This is the number that we will invoice your school for regardless of how many students actually attend the performance.

Step 3: Approximately 2 weeks before the performance we will email an invoice to your school.

Step 4: Pay invoice in full 1 week before your show.  We accept check, ACH, or credit card payments only.  We do not accept cash nor day of performance payments.

Day of Show

Your class must arrive by 9:00AM for the 9:30AM show or 12:00PM for the 12:30PM show.  Please keep your students on your bus (or other transportation) until our representative comes out to get you.  We ask that students come into our theatre in a single file line & we will direct you to your seats.  There will be multiple classrooms and schools attending the same performance, so we need for this process to be orderly.

Please remind your students and chaperones on proper theatre etiquette prior to arriving:

• No running in the theatre
• Entering and exiting the theatre should be orderly
• Remain in your seats during the entire show.  No one should leave their seats until the show is over unless there is an emergency.
• No talking during the show, but laughing is perfectly fine!

We will have a representative greet your group, but we are volunteers and are not able to provide any supervision for the children. That is the school’s responsibility.  If a child needs to use the restroom, we ask that a chaperone accompany them.

After the show, we ask that your students exit the theatre as a group, again in an orderly line to load on their bus.

We expect that this performance will last 95 minutes, so please have your transportation ready to load students back up at 11AM.

Our concession stand will be closed during these performances. We have a gender neutral and wheelchair accessible bathroom on our main floor, a ladies bathroom on our second floor, and a men’s bathroom on our lower level.
