OAKLAND SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS ~ ACTOR'S GUILD
~proudly presents~

Charlotte's Web
at
FAIRYLAND


All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig."
This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship.

Superintendent Sheila Jordan invites you to attend Everyday Heroes in History A Special Evening with Claudette Colvin VIP Reception VIP Reception: Friday, March 19 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Oakland School for the Arts 530 18th Street, Oakland, CA Tickets $15 Space is limited. RESERVE YOUR SEATS NOW to ensure a spot at this great event. Claudette Colvin hailed from Alabama, and in 1955, at the age of 15, she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white person, in violation of local law. Her arrest preceded that of Rosa Parks' by nine months. "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all," Ms. Colvin said in an interview with author Philip Hoose. "Maybe by telling my story - something I was afraid to do for a long time - kids will have a better understanding about what the civil rights movement was about." Following the VIP Reception, please join us from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. Ms. Claudette Colvin in conversation with Enid Lee Book signing to follow Special Introduction by Dr. Clayborne Carson Cultural Performances: North Oakland Community Charter School & Awele Makeba First Youth Empowerment Award: Facing History and Ourselves!
