Everyone's favorite literal-minded maid takes the stage in "Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping & Other Stories" on Sunday, Feb. 6, at 1 and 3 p.m. at Fairfield University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. A third performance, part of the Quick Center's ArtsBound Schoolday Series, will take place on Monday, Feb. 7, at 10 a.m.

The title piece in this Story Salad Productions program is based on the beloved book by Peggy Parish, which finds our hapless heroine leaving behind the Rodgers' home for a tent. The program also features a story for fans of the absent-minded, "Abe Lincoln's Hat," a funny tale by Martha Brennan revolving around the 16th president's memorable tall topper.

In addition, children will enjoy an adaptation of Dayle Ann Dodds' "Sing, Sophie!" and the Aesop's Fables-based story "Scaredy-Cat," as well as "Jackie & the Rocket Ship" and "Jambo Means Hello," a sing-along based on a Swahili alphabet song.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for children, for the Sunday performances. The Monday show is geared to school groups and study guides are available. Tickets for that performance are $7. For tickets, call the Quick Center box office at (203) 254-4010 or toll free at 1-877-ARTS-396. For more information, visit www.quickcenter.com.
