Westport Country Playhouse to Present LILLY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE, 11/16
Westport Country Playhouse's 2014-15 Family Festivities Series will begin with "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, on Sunday, November 16, at 1 and 4 p.m. Produced by Omaha Theater Company, the show is recommended for ages 4-8. Tickets are $20.
"Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" is a charming adaptation of Kevin Henkes' award-winning children's book. Lilly loves everything about school, especially her cool teacher Mr. Slinger. But when he confiscates her prized possession, a purple plastic purse that plays music, joy turns to misery, testing Lilly's resolve.
Family Festivities shows are presented on selected Sundays from November through March. Upcoming shows are: "Frosty," on Sunday, December 14, about a young orphan who discovers magic in a stolen hat when he places it on a snowman's head and that snowman comes to life; "Stella, Queen of the Snow," on Sunday, January 18, the story of two children as they spend the day playing in the snow, discovering the world of winter together; "The Lightning Thief," on Sunday, February 8, about mythological monsters and the theft of Zeus's master lightning bolt; "Dog Loves Books," on Sunday, March 1, a musical about the irresistible Dog who decides to open his own bookstore; and "Curious George," on Sunday, March 29, about the inquisitive, lovable little monkey of books, movies, and the award-winning PBS television show.
At each Family Festivities performance, Westport Country Playhouse will once again host a book collection for Read to Grow, Inc. Bins will be located in the Playhouse lobby for donations of gently used and new children's books which will be given to families with limited access and to community resources that serve them in the greater Fairfield County area.
Family Festivities Partner is Darlene Krenz; Corporate Partner is Pitney Bowes. The series is also supported in part by Westport Young Woman's League.
