Guy Little talks about his role in bringing 175 famous singers, comedians and actors, including Betty Grable, Kitty Carlisle, Tab Hunter and Robert Conrad, to central Illinois for productions at The Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan. He tells fascinating stories including cooking for Betty Grable and working with the temperamental actress Ann Sothern. He talks about how he decided he wanted to make theater his life when he was very young and saw The Merry Widow at the Lincoln Theater in Decatur.
