Public Service Announcement:

We have been struggling to get an Internet connection down in Kelso Hollow on show nights, and this has affected our ability to take credit card payments. We deeply regret the inconvenience this has caused our patrons. New WiFi equipment is on the way, but it will probably not be here before the weekend and the Pollyanna shows this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

We will be accepting cash and checks for ticket sales and concessions purchases this coming weekend, so please plan accordingly.

The cast and staff of Pollyanna have worked extremely hard to bring you this heartwarming tail of an orphan who wouldn’t let life get her down. We hope you’ll join us—you’ll be “glad” you did.

This is the delightful, classic tale of the greatest optimist of all time--Pollyanna. But it's much more than that. It's the story of how a little girl's faith in her father's promise--that you can find something good about anything that happens--that guides her steadfastly through circumstances most adults would find formidable.

Performances are June 19, 20, 21, and 26, 27 at 7:30 p.m. For more information call 217-725-0239 or go to theatreinthepark.net. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.
