Page 4 Comments From The Artistic Director It doesn't happen very often ... except maybe in a Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland musical.. .that a bunch of friends get together and "put on a show." But this is exactly what is happening this summer at The Little Theatre On The Square. A bunch of friends are getting together to put on a show.. .no, eight shows.

To us, the theatre is an extended family. We often joke that there are only a dozen people working in our business and we all know each other. And, in may ways, that's true. We do a show together.. .laugh, play and, sometimes, cry together.. .and when the show is over, we move on to the next show. But we all know, deep in our hearts, that we will meet again.. .picking up where we left off, reminiscing about the "good ole days" and sharing new ones. If you tried to draw a chart showing how interconnected we are, it would look very much like Charlotte's Web. Some of us met as students, some of us did national tours together, some of us are brothers and sisters, some of us are married and share lives together, and many of us met for the first time at The Little Theatre On The Square. That's one thing we all do have in common. For a very meaningful period of our lives, however short, we have all made Sullivan our home.

So this year, we wish to say to our dear friends in the audience, "Sit back and watch as 60 old friends get together again to put on a show. "ENJOY THE MAGIC!"

This year marks the beginning of the second decade that I have had the honor of being the Executive Directorof The Little Theatre On The Square. I want to give special recognition to my "partner in crime", Artistic Director Seth Reines, who joined me in 1988 and has been here every year to guide the artistic elementsof this enterprise. He is a most talented, energetic and enthusiasticperson and I am grateful for all that he does to keep our quality of productions high and to make this a fun place to work. Seth and I are proud of the accomplishmentswe have made during our tenure,some of which are:
