Theatre Wing before returning to central Illinois in the sprlng of 1957 to look for a theatre location. Not having success locating a suitable theatre I in any of the larger cities in downstate Illinois, 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 100 major productions-both plays and musicals-featuring many outstandin stars and supporting casts from Broadway, ~olfywood,TV and Opera.
