We were extremely pleased at the reception that you gave the variety of entertainment presented. After nine years of operation, there are few outstanding musicals that we have not produced, but we hope that next year some new releases will be available for stock production. We also hope to present more plays with outstanding stars of TV, Screen and Stage. It has been a privilege to work with an exceptionally talented, cooperative and dedicated staff this summer: John Kelso, Harriet Leigh and Richard Michaels (directors), Elwood Smith and Al Heller (musical directors), Paul Hoffman and Steven Linn (scenic designers), Sally Gifft (costume designer), Otto Schlesinger, Rwr Place, John Eco- nomos and Audrey Zuckerman (stage managers), Lee York (publicity director), Rod Fernandez (costume co-ordinator and hair stylist), Lowell Christy (director of the Children's Theatre), Bill Hudnef and Vince DeDario (assistants to the producer), as well as Jerili, lnis and Guy S. Little, Sr. have completely dedicated their energies and talents to and for The Little Theatre---On The Square. To them and the entire company and staff (most certainly including our wonderful apprentices), I give my everlasting gratitude. During the past nine summLrs we have presented a total of eighty-seven major productions, and with the final curtain of the 1965 season, a total of 739 performances have been viewed by Central Illinois audiences. We welcome your suggestions as to the stars, musicals and plays that you would like to see next season. And we will be looking forward to seeing you again in 1966 . . . your continued support, help and cooperation will be greatly appreciated as in the past.

Cordially, d GUY S. LITTLE, JR.
