Young orphan Pollyanna believes life's most difficult problems can always be surmounted by a positive attitude and pragmatism. But when she moves in with her dour aunt, she is introduced to a range of disheartened folks who challenge her upbeat outlook. Not to be discouraged, she sets to work spreading hope and good cheer in spite of the tribulations that beset her.

POLLYANNA will be interpreted for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing on May 17 at 7:00pm.
