Wilbur the pig, played by senior Anna Wright, grasps for freedom from the Zimmerman's oven during her performance in "Charlotte's Web." This was Wright's favorite moment in the play. "I'm picturing running from an intruder or just like a monster," Wright says about what goes through her head during the scene. "Theater is important to me because it is a way to get a bunch of people with nothing to do in common in the same room to laugh together, to cry together, and teach moral lessons right in front of their eyes. And it's really fun."
