A whimsical, humorous and enchanting adaptation of three popular picture books by Kevin Henkes. (Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, Chester's Way & Julius, Baby of the World). Lilly is a spunky, imaginative and happy young mouse who loves school and her two best friends. After her baby brother is born, Lilly is feeling a little neglected until her Grandmother buys her a new purple plastic purse that plays music whenever it's opened. Unfortunately, Lilly takes her enthusiasm for her purse too far and ends up in trouble with her favorite teacher. In the end she learns that making mistakes is part of growing up.

With only a cast of 6, (3 men, 3 women), we are looking for versatile actors to play multiple roles! The production is fast-paced and contemporary, and includes some fun fantastical “dream” sequences. Equity Actors of all races/ethnicities are encouraged to audition. Non-union actors with experience also welcome to audition, as there is a possibility that we will cast up to 2 non-union actors in this production. All the characters in the play are Mice, but the production will concentrate on relationships and actors will not be dressed in “Mouse” costumes. All actors except LILLY to play various ages.

LILLY (female, 20's – 30's)
WILSON/FBI Agent (male, 20's-30's)
CHESTER/Salesman/FBI agent (male, 20's – 30's)
