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
JOHN BARLO'W, R. Ph. Guy S. Little. Jr. this year. Immediately after
presenting Rosemary Prinz in A Girl Could Get
Cafe &Tavern Lucky in December-January in Sullivan, MY".
Little left for Phoenix, Arizona where he was
engaged as producer for the 21st season at the
famous Sombrero Playhouse. While in Phoenix,
Mr. Little presented Howard Keel, Ray Walston,
Kathryn Crosby. Mildred Natwick. Cornelia Otis
Skinner and other greats of American show
business in addition to Ann Sathern, Robert
Cummings and Vivian Vance...all who will
appear in Sullivan this season. Mr. Little
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 Brigadoon on July 3. 1957. Mr. Little has
presented 112 major productions-both plays
and mqsicals-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 for
twenty-four weeks last year and had an at-
tendance of 80,000. . . .a most gratifying in·
crease! The Little Theatre-On The Square also
has a Children's Theatre which presents pro.
ductions for young audiences on Saturdays dur-
inl( late June. July and AUl(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

In addition to his productions in Sullivan, SULLIVAN, ILLINOIS
Mr. Little manag-ed the Piccolo Playhouse in
Joliet and has had touring productions that have Gauger
played leatling- theatres in Michigan, Ohio, Lumber Co.

Darnell, Marie Wilson, Eddie Bracken, Joe E.
Brown, Maq~aret Truman, Cesar Romero, Mer-
cedes McCambridg-e, Andy Devine, Gardner Mc-

Mr. Little has directed many of the product-
ions, designed and built the scenery, and has
appeared in many of the shows. His favorite
roles include Mr. Snow in Carousel. Lt. Cable in
South Pacific and Kenneth in Cal/ Me Madam.

Guy met his wife, J erili, when they were both
studying theatre at the University of Miami.
Jerili has starred in many productions in Sul-
livan and on tour and has established a fol-
lowin~ wherever she has performed. The Littles
have been married fourteen years and have two
children, Vanessa, age twelve and Sean, age
six. Both children have been active in the Sul-
livan productions.

The operation of a star theatre for twelve
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. g-rate-
fully salutes the faithful central Illinois audi-
ences who have patronized The Little Theatre-
On The Square since 1957.
