COSHOCTON - Coshocton Christian School’s spinning of
the play “Charlotte’s Web” is quickly approaching with the
date set at Friday, April 5. Th e play will be held at Coshoc-
ton Christian School in the sanctuary at 7 p.m.
Fourth grade student Amelia Huneycutt will be playing
the character the play is named for, Charlotte the spider.
She has liked acting “since I was a baby; I loved to put on
shows for my family,” said Huneycutt. She enjoys “acting
like someone else and feeling diff erent.”
Her favorite scene includes events in which Charlotte
says goodbye to Wilbur. When asked if she will continue
acting, she said, “I always wanted to be an actress when I
grow up, so yes, I would love to be in plays or even on T.V.
Fourth grader Clay Bilyeu will be playing the part of
Wilbur the pig in the upcoming play. Bilyeu has been
acting for a year and enjoys being with his friend, Owen
Riggs, while acting. Bilyeu says his favorite scene is when
he faints.
Fourth grade student Owen Riggs has the opportunity
to be Templeton, a character known for fi nding words for
Charlotte in the play. Riggs wanted to play this part be-
cause he likes mice. When asked if he will continue to act
as he gets older, Riggs replied, “Yes, of course.”
Second grade student Brianna Riggs will be appearing as
Fern Arable. She began to savor acting when CCS pro-
duced a play last year. Her favorite scene is when she yells
at Avery Arable, her younger brother in the play.
