The Tea PartyBoston Harbor, at night
A true revolutionary tale, on stage
Polly and the Colony
A 250-year-old doll who was actually there. One play. A whole revolution, seen from a shop window in Boston.
A 60-minute play for grades 2 to 6. Now booking productions for Fall 2026.
She came for the tea. She stayed for the revolution.
Polly is a fashion doll, shipped from London in 1773 on the same boat as the tea. She lands in a Boston shop just as a city tips into rebellion. Over one act she watches the Tea Party, a town burn, cannons climb a hill before dawn, and a brand new country read itself aloud. She is a doll to the grown-ups. To the kids, she will not stop talking. This is her story, and it is ours.
