WELCOME! To The Eleventh Season

Producer Guy S. Little, 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 second decade of live theatre for central Illlnolm 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 plays could be presented. He got his first job in professional theatre as an apprentice a t the Keene, New Hampshire Summer Theatre i n 1951 and worked the two following summers at the Gateway Musical Playhouse near Atlantic C i t ~

After graduation from the ~ n i v e r a i l y of Mi- ami, Mr. Little took graduate courses a t Colum- bia Universitv and The American Theatre W ~ n a before returning to central Illinois in the spring of 1957 to look for a theatre location.

Not having success locating a suitable theatre in an of the larger cities in downstate Illinois, Mr. Little decided to lease the movie house in his native Sullivan. Since the opening of Brigadoon on July 3, 1957, Mr. Little has pre- sented 100 major productions--both plays and musicals-featuring many outstandin stars and supporting casts from Broadqsag, ~olfywood, T V and Opera. The first season ran nlne weeks and had an attendance of 8.000. The Little Theatre- On The Sauare was aden for twentv-five weeks last year &d had an ittendance of-80.fi0 . . . a most gratifying increase! I n addition to his productions in ullivan, Mr. Little mana ed the Piccolo Pla~house in Joliet and has f a d touring productions that hive played theatres in Michigan. Ohio and the Chicago area. Mr. Little i s often asked to open and manage other theatres in the midwest, but his devotion i s to The Little Theatre-On The Square and i ts loyal audiences. Mr. Little works around booking outatandin stars such as 1::: Allyson John Carradine. %eter Palmer Rose- mary ~ L i n z Dennis Weaver, Robert ~ e i d , John Payne, ~ A g a r e t O'Brien. Julia Meade, Pat O'Brien, Linda Darnell, Marie Wilson Eddie Bracken, Joe E. Brown, Marjorie Lord, hargar- et Truman Edward Everett Horton Annamary Dickey, ~ i c k Haskell, Margaret ~a 'mi l ton and

Guy met his wife Jerili when they were both studying theatre' a t the' University of Mi- ami. They have been married thirteen years and have *two children, Vaneasa, age eleven, and Sean. age five. Both children have been active in the Sullivan 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.
