Little Jr. this year. Immediately after y s e n t i n g ~ o k m a r y R i m in A Girl Coald Get

ncky in December-January in Sullivan, Mr. Little left for Phoen~x. Ar~aona where he was engaged an roducer for the 2lst season a t the famous 8omfrero Pla house While in Phoenix, Mr. Little presented doward Kpal. Ray Walsto? Kathryn Crosby. Mildred Natw~ck. Cornella 0 t d S k i ~ e r and other greats of American show business In addition to Ann Sothern Robert Cumminqs and Vivian Vance. . .all &ho .will appear In Sullivan this season. Mr. Ltttle returned to Sullivan in time. to remodel the balcony of the theatre remortng the old pro- jectipn booth and elevbting the meats; and in- stallmg a new curved stage curtain-all to celebrate the opening of the 12th season in Sullivan.

Long before: Mr. Little opened the Grand Theatre hack m 1957, he hoped and planned that someda he would have a theatre where musicals andr plays could be presented. He got his first job m professional theatre as an ap-

rentice at the Keene New Hampshire Summer bheatre in 1951 and 'worked the two following summep at. the Gateway Musical Playhouse near Atlant~c C~ty .

After aduation from the Univernity of Miami, f r . Little took graduate courses at Columbia Universit and The American Theatre Wing before retwafn. to central Illinois in the spring of 1957 to look for a theatre location

Not havin nuccess locating a suitable theatre in . any of &e h r er cities in downstate Illi- nots Mr. Littlq tecided to lease the movie houde ~n him nauve Sullivan Since the o ening of Bdcadoon on July 3 1957. Mr. ~ i t t L has presented 112 major &oductionr--both plays and mrlsicals-featuring many outstand~np; stars and supporting cants 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 last year and had an at- tendance ~f 8?.000. . .a mast gratifying in- erereel The Little l ' h e a t n - ~ n The Square also has a Children's Theatre rh ich presents pro- ductions for young audiences on Saturdays dur- ing late June, July and Aups t . Mr. Little strongly believes that stock should he a prov- in^- ound and workshop for young talent to devesp as actors-singerr-dancers and technicians.
