(Rock Island, IL) According to the director, Diana Allen, "Bridges: The Polly Musical" is an adaptation of the made-for-TV Disney movie, Polly. That movie was a remake of a movie that came out in the 1950's with Hayley Mills called Pollyanna, but it used African Americans. Allen says it is a story about love and hope in a black community. It portrays both sides of a community?the black and white cultures?and how to build bridges between them.
