Polly: A True Life Pioneer Musical Coming to LTOB on July 25-Aug. 17

June 28, 2024

A musical experience of love, laughter, and generations of strong women, Weird Little Worlds is proud to co-produce the Little Theatre on the Bay production of “Polly: A True Pioneer Musical” from July 25-August 3 in North Bend, Oregon. With a multi-generational cast of mothers and daughters—all of whom are literal descendents from the real-life heroine of this pioneer adventure—this is truly a family show on every level.

The musical follows the life of Polly, her struggles and joys in life. Full of infectious music, hilarious dialogue, and heartrending true stories, it’s a pioneer story that everyone can enjoy.

“It”s the story of a life,” said Elise Rasband, a senior studying English at BYU. “In the beginning she talks about being unique, even though there are many pioneer women like her. But focusing on someone who lives this usual life, makes her unusual. It celebrates the life of a woman.”

The writer and composer of the musical, Steven Kapp Perry, spent two years working on this musical as a gift to his wife, Johanne Frechette Perry. For two decades the pair performed the musical across the nation, garnering huge praise for the show and sold-out theaters for nearly every performance.

But when the duo decided to allow a new generation of performers take the show on, local theater legends John and Gaylene Adamson and their daughter, Willow Becker, and granddaughter, Abigail Becker, thought they could infuse new life into the show.

“It’s an incredible show as a one-woman performance,” says Willow. “But I really wanted to do this show about generations of women with my own generations. I am so blessed that my talented mother and daughter are doing this once-in-a-lifetime show with me.”

Polly will be performing at the Little Theatre on the Bay from July 25-Aug. 3. Get tickets here.
