audiences. Long before Mr. Little opened the
Grand Theatre back in 1957, he hoped and Meet Paul, the friendly operator at
planned that someday he would have a theatre
where musicals and plays could be presented. "THE OLD STORE"

Mr. Little decided to lease the movie house charming old barn atmosphere.
in his native Sullivan. Since the opening of
Brigadoon o n 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 y w o o d ,T V
and Opera. The first season ran nine weeks and
had an attendance of 8,000. T h e Little Theatre-
On The Square was open for twenty-five weeks

. . .last year and had an attendance of 80,000

a most gratifying increase! In addition to his
productions in Sullivan, Mr. Little managed
the Piccolo Playhouse in Joliet and has had
touring productions that have played theatres
i n 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
its loyal audiences. Mr. Little works year
around booking outstanding stars such a s June
Allyson, John Carradine, Peter Palmer, Rose-
mary Prinz, Dennis Weaver, 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, Jack Haskell, Margaret Hamilton and
Cesar Romero.

Mr. Little h a s directed many of the pro-
ductions, designed and built the scenery, and
h a s appeared in many of the shows. Last season,
in addltion to supervising all the productions,
he appeared as Mr. Snow in Carousel, Joe Tay-
lor, Jr. in Allegro. Mr. Foley in Never Too
L a t e and Michael O'Neill in The M m n 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, age five. Both children have been gctive
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.
