The Educational Theatre Collaborative, in partnership with PSU’s College of Graduate Studies, Plymouth Elementary School, Friends of the Arts, and Pollyanna of Littleton New Hampshire, Inc. created an original cast recording of their 2008 world premiere production, a musical theatre version of Pollyanna. The musical is based on the 1913 classic children’s novel Pollyanna by Littleton, NH resident Eleanor Porter.

With lyrics by PSU Professor of Education Trish Lindberg, musical score by Will Ogmundson, Cynthia Bizzarro, and Kenneth Roberts, and the talents of numerous professional, University, and community singers and musicians, the CD captures the best in Porter’s enduring story of optimism and gladness.
