M. Seth Reines - Artistic Director

M. Seth Reines, Artistic Producer of Broadway Palm Arizona, is delighted to return to Little Theatre for his 20th season as Artistic Director. He has directed over 400 productions for stage and public television, including national tours of Sunday in the Park with George and South Pacific, working with such stars as Emily Loesser, Angela Lansbury, Chita Rivera, Oprah, Leslie Uggams, Jerry Herman, Tom Wopat and Peter Allen.

Seth is excited to be a part of Little Theatre’s 50th season, working with this enormously talented company of old and new friends. He wishes to dedicate his work to the memory of Dr. Mervin Reines, his father and inspiration.

Lori Harbaugh - Business Manager

It’s hard to believe, but this year marks Lori’s 25th season with The Little Theatre On The Square. She is a lifetime resident of Sullivan who has been known to show up on stage from time to time. These days she’s more likely to be found in her office shuffling mounds of paperwork, ensuring that things continue to run smoothly behind the scenes. Her performance bug has been satisfied for the last nine years by her work with “The Prairie Winds”, a local group who entertains weekly at area nursing and retirement homes. Lori wants to send a huge “thank you” to her wonderful, dedicated box office staff for their loyal support and hard work over the years. We couldn’t do it without you!

 

 

John Stephens -Interim Managing Director

This is John's third Summer Season at The Little Theatre. Coming to us from Decatur, IL where he spent the past 5 years as a music teacher at St. James School in Decatur, IL. John is very excited to be a part of The Little Theatre Family. John comes from a strong performing background. He began to sing and play the piano at age 5 and since then has went on to sing in places like The Grand Ole Opry and U.S. Cellular Stadium for the Chicago White Sox. John spent 9 years with the Decatur Park Singers, starting as a singer/dancer and moving up the ranks to Road Manager and then Business Manager. He also directed the Decatur Young Park Singers for 5 seasons. You might have seen John on stage in last year's Children's show The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and we are sure it won't be the last time you see him on our stage. John started at the theatre as Marketing Director in 2006 and has moved up the ladder to now fill the seat on Interim Managing Director. A HUGE thanks to Lori, Seth and the entire Little Theatre Board of Trustees for all they do to help make John's life easier.
