Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse at Adventure Theatre MTC

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"... Scenic Designer Joseph B. Musumeci, Jr. creates a textured, bluish-green colored set compiled of cloud-shaped cutouts, with doors and drawers built into the walls that later prove to conceal props, as well as a screen that shows pictures throughout the production. Lighting by Brian S. Allard and sound by Neil McFadden work together to make the tone and moods of the characters come alive. During most of the play, mottled, marbled lighting creates a dreamlike atmosphere, while soft, tinkling music plays in the background. These effects change to show emotional range when needed, such as anger, jealousy, sadness, and joy, and they do so subtly and effectively. Costume Designer Kendra Rai dresses the characters in bright, patterned garments that appeal to a child’s eye, and completes the effect with mouse ears and tails."

Adventure Theatre’s production of Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse hits new heights of exuberant energy and hilarity thanks to winning combinations of a fun loving cast featuring Felicia Curry in the title role, and zany artistry of director Nick Olcott who has a delectable take on all the humor, every single energetic drop of it.
