A new children’s play. The play is a remarkable, funny, and mostly true account of a fashion doll that came across the ocean from England on one of the Boston Tea Party ships and found herself caught up in the American Revolution in Boston. This new play follows her journey from a vain fashion doll to a true American colonist and in the process vibrantly teaches adults and kids alike about patriotism, family, courage and how one person can change the course of history with intention, grit and using your voice for the benefit of all. Polly, the actual doll on which the story is based, currently lives at Revolutionary Spaces in Boston, having survived all 250 years of our history. The show is written to be enjoyed by children (grades 4-7), older children, and adults and will be seen by Boston school children as part of their American history curriculum starting in November. This is a unique opportunity to experience the premier production, performed and produced by the Mass Arts Center, and these two shows are open to the public as part of the 250th celebration.
