WELCOME! To The Eleventh Season

Producer Guv S. Little, Jr. With the opening -on ~ a y 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 Illinois 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 m 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 k

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 returning to central Illinois in the spring of 1957 to look for a theatre location.

Not having success locating a suitable theatre in any of the larger cities in downstate Illinois Mr. Little decided to lease the movie housd 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 Broadway, ~ o l f ~ o o d , TV 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 gratifyin increase1 In addition to his productions in ull~van, . 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 i s often aaked 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 outstanding stars such as f:,": Allyson John Carradine, Peter Palmer Rose- mary ~ k i n z Dennis Weaver, Robert ~ e d d , John Payne, ~ A g a r e t O'Brien, Julia Meade, Pat O'Brien Linda Darnell, Marie Wilson, Eddie ~racke; Joe E. Brown, Marjorie Lord, Margar- et Truman Edward Everett Horton, Annamary Dickey, ~ d c k Haskell, Margaret Hamilton and Cesar Romero.

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

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, Vanessa age eleven and Sean, a e five. Both childre; have been h i v e in the 8ullivan 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.
