Page 3 The Little Theatre-On The Square, Inc. Guy S. Little, Jr. founded The Little Theatre-On The Square in 1957 and was the producing director through 1978 when he left Sulli- van and became producer at the famed Melody Top Theatre in Milwaukee, Wis. Sullivan Theatre, Inc., based in Charleston, took over operations of The Little Theatre-On The Square for the 1979 season. The theatre was dark in 1980. In the spring of 1981, a group of local citizens, wanting to continue the tradition of high quality, professional theatre in Sullivan, formed Friends Of The Little Theatre, Inc., a non-profit corporation that assumed the responsibility to set general policies regarding the programs and the operations of the theatre. In January of 1990, the corporation underwent a major reorganization, changed its name to The Little Theatre-On The Square, Inc. and expanded its membership to include representatives from more towns throughout the theatre's market area. The current members of the Board of Trustees of The Little Theatre-On The Square, Inc. are: 1994 Officers Region Two President ......................................................... Harold D.
