POLLY opened May 7, 1992 in the Pardoe Theater,
Brigham Young University.

Videotaped Live, July 1993, Spanish Fork, Utah




Written by songwriter Steven Kapp Perry, POLLY is a musical tour de force that has brought audiences to their feet night after night since a standing-room only premiere at BYU.

Filled with memorable music and starring the delightful Johanne Frechette Perry, Polly is the remarkable story of Utah settler Polly Matilda Merrill Colton. It's humorous, it's touching, and best of all . . . it's true!
