"Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse," the next production of Fairfield University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts' Young Audience Series, will take place on Sunday, March 18, at 1 and 3 p.m. The program will be repeated on Monday, March 19, at 10 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. as part of the Quick Center's outreach program, Schooldays Series. The show is appropriate for children in Grades K-3.

A Kennedy Center Celebration Imagination On Tour production, the play tells the story of Lilly, a little mouse full of ambition and youthful enthusiasm who loves school, especially her new teacher, Mr. Slinger. When she receives an exciting new purple plastic purse, Lilly can't wait to show it to her class but Mr. Slinger has other ideas. Through her various adventures, Lilly learns valuable lessons about friendship, family and forgiveness.

Tickets for Sunday's production are $10, $8 for children, with discounts available for seniors and birthday parties, and $5 for Monday's outreach program. The Outreach Program is funded in part by the Kiwanis Club of Fairfield, the Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation, Inc., Regina A. Quick, People's Bank and Schools in Partnership with Unilever H & PC.
