Posted on May 27th, 2016

exhibitexhibit2 Nimoy Grable

A new exhibit now on display at Booth Library showcases the 59-year history of The Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan, IL. Photos from past productions at The Little Theatre are archived in EIU’s digital institutional repository and electronic archive, known as The Keep. The archive contains thousands of photos and continues to grow. Photographer David Mobley donated negatives of his photos from the early years, circa 1960-1980. The archive also contains digitized programs beginning with the first show in 1957.

Many well-known actors appeared at The Little Theatre over the years. Several of them are highlighted in this exhibit, now on display in the South Lobby. Featured is a thumbnail page of images from the 1965 production of Dracula, starring well-known actor John Carradine. Many other photos and autographed programs also are included in the display.

To browse the Little Theatre digital collections, go to http://thekeep.eiu.edu/little_theatre/ or follow the links in The Keep to the Special Collections section.
