stalling a new curved stage curtain-all to
celebrate the opening of the 12th season in

prentice a t the Keens, New Hampshire Summer
Theatre i n 1951 and worked the two following

spring of 1957 t o look for a theatre location.
Not having success locating a suitable theatre
i n . any of the Iar e r cities in downstate Illi-
nols. Mr. Little lecided to lease the movie
house in his native Sullivan. Since the opening
of Brigadoon on J.uly 3, 1957, Mr. Little has
presented 112 major productions-both plays
and musicaltifeaturing many outstanding stars
and supporting casts from Broadway. Hollywood,
T V and Opera. The first season ran nine
weeks and had an attendance of 8000. The

Little Theatre-On The Square was 'open for
twenty-four weeks l a s t. year and had an at-
tendance of 80.000. .a most gratifying in-
crease! The Little T'heatre-OR. The Square also
has a Ch~ldren's Theatre a h ~ c hpresents pro-
ductions for young audiences on Saturdays dur-
ing late June, July and August. 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
