Giveaway: See Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse at Walton Arts Center!

We can’t WAIT to see Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse at Walton Arts Center. It was my daughter’s favorite book for forever and it’s going to be so cool to see it come to life on stage!

We’d love for your family to see it, too 🙂 Thanks to our long-time sponsor, Walton Arts, we’ve got 8 FREE tickets to give away to the performance on April 13th. Two families will win 4 tickets each!

ABOUT THE SHOW: Lilly loves almost everything! She loves school, she loves wearing disguises, she loves her awesome teacher, but not her stinky baby brother Julius. Lilly has her own way of doing things and even on the bad days, when you have movie star sunglasses and a purple plastic purse that plays music, how bad can it be?

Adapted from the award winning children’s books by Kevin Henkes, Trike Theatre brings to life Lilly’s hilarious and heart-felt journey where even young mice make mistakes and have to find the courage to apologize.

RELAXED PERFORMANCE: There’s also a “relaxed performance” of the show at 10 a.m. show. Select performances in the Walton Arts Center season have been adapted to incorporate special modifications to serve adults and children with sensory-input disorders, autism or other developmental or cognitive disability, as well as anyone who might feel uncomfortable attending a typical live theater performance.

  2. My son loves the book Horseplay. He also like the beginner readers with his favorite characters such as Transformers or Ninja Turtles.

  3. My daughter always loved Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny—and we loved seeing those on stage at WAC a year or two ago. This would be so fun! Her favorite color is purple and Lilly sounds like it’s right up our alley!
