LITTLE THEATRE ON ITS 12th riage-Go-Round on May 25th marks the first
show of the 1968 spring-summer-fall season at
SEASON The Little Theatre-On The Square. this pro-
duction will be the ninth opening for producer
.~,;;;~~.~.~i~:::;p.~~1r1 Guy S. Little. Jr. this year. Immediately after
presenting Rosemary Prinz in A Girl Could Get
ohn's' Lucky in December-January in Sullivan, Mr.
harmacy Little left for Phoenix, Arizona where he was
engaged as producer for the 21st season at the
JOHN BARLOW, R. Ph. famous Sombrero Playhouse. While in Phoenix,
Mr. Little presented Howard Keel. Ray Walston.
Cafe &Tavern Kathryn Crosby, Mildred Natwick. Cornelia Otis
Skinner and other greats of American show
business in addition to Ann Sothern. Robert
Cummings and Vivian Vance...all who will
appear in Sullivan this season. M r. Li ttle
returned to Sullivan in time to remodel the
balcony of the theatre, removing the old pro-
jection booth and elevating the seats: and in-
stalling a new curved stage curtain-all to
celebrate the opening of the 12th season in
Sullivan.

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 ap-
prentice at the Keene, New Hampshire Summer
Theatre in 1951 and worked the two following
summers at the Gateway Musical Playhouse near
Atlantic City.

After graduation from the University of
Miami, Mr. Little took graduate courses at
Columbia University and The American Theatre
Wing before returning to central Illinois in the
spring of 1957 to Jook for a theatre location.

Not having success locating a suitable theatre
in any of the larger cities in downstate Illi-
nois, Mr. Little decided to lease the movie
house in his native Sullivan. Since the opening
of Brjgadoon on July 3. 1957. Mr. Little has
presented 112 major productions-both plays
and m4sicals-featuring many outstanding stars
and supporting casts from Broadway. Hollywood,
TV and Opera. The first season ran nine
weeks and had an attendance of 8.000. The
Little Theatre-On The Square was open lor
twenty-four weeks last year and had an at-
tendance of 80,000. . . .a most gratifying in-
orease! The Little Theatre-On The Square also
has a Children's Theatre which presents pro-
ductions for young audiences on Saturdays dur-
in/( late June. July and Au/(ust. Mr. Little
strongly believes that stock should be a prov-
ing-ground and workshop for young talent to
develop as actors-singers-dancers and technicians.
Thirty outstanding apprentices are accepted each
year from over 100 applicants; these young stu-
dents who have come from most. every state
