WELCOME! To The Eleventh Season

Producer Guy S. LiHle, Jr. With the opening -on May 20th of Barefoot

I n The Park starring Tab Hunter, Producer Guy S. Little. Jr. i s proud to begin his secold decade of live theatre for central Illinols audiences. Long before Mr. Little opened the Grand Theatre back in 1957, he hoped and planned that someday he would have a theatre where musicals and lays could be presented. He got his first jog in professional theatre as an apprentice at the Keene, New Hampshire Summer Theatre in 1951 and worked the two following summers a t the Gateway Musical Playhouse near Atlantic C i t ~

After graduation from the ~ n i v e r s i i y of Xi- ami Mr. Little took graduate courses at Colum- bia 'university and The American Theatre Wing before returntng to central Illinois in the spring of 1957 to look for a theatre location.

Not having success locating a suitable theatre

g r . Y of the larger cities in downstate Illinois.

ittle decided to lease the movie house in his native Sullivan. Since the opening of Brigadoon on July 3, 1957, Mr. Little has presented 100 major productions-both plays and musicals-featuring many outstandin stars and supporting casts from Broadway, ~o l fywood , T V and Opera. The first season ran nine weeks and had an attendance of 8.000. The Little Theatre- On The Square was open for twenty-five weeks last year and had an attendance of 80.000 . . . a most gratifying increase1 In addition to his productions in Sullivan Mr. Little managed the Piccolo Playhouse in Joliet and has had touring productions that have played theatres in Michigan, Ohio and the Chicago area. Mr. Little is often asked to open and manage other theatres in the midwest, but his devotion is to The Little Theatre-On The Square and i ts loyal audiences. Mr Little works around booking o u t s t a n d i n ~ s t a r s n c h as 1::; Allyson, John Carradine eter Palmer, Rose- mary Prinz. Dennis ~ e i v e r , Robert Reed, John Payne, Margaret O'Brien. Julia Meade, Pat O'Brien, Linda Darnell, Marie Wilson, Eddie Bracken, Joe E. Brown, Marjorie Lord, Margar- et Truman Edward Everett Horton, Annamary Dickey, ~ i c k Haskell. Margaret Hamilton and Cesar Romero.

Mr. Little has directed many of the productions, designed and built the scenery and has appeared tn many of the shows. Last skason, in addttion to supervising all the productions, he ap eared as Mr. Snow in Carousel Joe Tay- lor, fr. in Allegro, Mr. Foley in hever Too Late and Michael O'Neill in The Moon Is Blue.

Guy met his wife. Jerili when they were both studying theatre at thb University of Mi- ami. They have been married thirteen years and have *two children Vanessa, age eleven and Sean, a e five. ~ d h children have been kctive in the gullivan productions.

The operation of a star theatre for ten years in a town with a population of less than 4,000 has been called "the miracle of Sullivan" by theatre historians. Guy S. Little, Jr. gratefully salutes the faithful central Illinois audiences who have patronized The Little Theatre-On The Square since 1957.
