Sullivan Medical Center 1220 West Jackson Sullivan, Illinois MASTERING MODERN -- - Artistic Director Seth Reines, Musical Director Jason Yarcho, Education Director Marie Jagger Taylor and I have recently conducted actor auditions and technical personnel interviews for the 2007 summer season company. We attended the Midwest Theatre Auditions at Wehster University in St. Louis where 55 different theatres auditioned over 400 young actors and actresses and interviewed about 100 theatre technicians. 84 children auditioned here in Sullivan for the children's roles in THE SOUND OF MUSIC and over 65 adults attended our Sullivan auditions. And ... we saw another 87 people at our Actors' Equity Association audition call in Chicago. (In addition, Seth Reines attends other auditions in his role as Artistic Producer for the Prather Family Dinner Theatres and has seen over 700 people.) From all of this, we will assemble a company of approximately 100 people including only 30-35 different actors. I am sure that we have found talented performers who will produce the quality productions that you have become accustomed to here at The Little Theatre On The Square. We are glad you are here and we know you will enjoy the show. Tell a friend about The Little Theatre On The Square! Leonard A.
