LTFR Theatre Intern Program Announces Free Children's Workshop Series

The Little Theatre of Fall River is offering a FREE eight-week interactive children's workshop series. In the beginning there were two one-act plays, ‘Rosalinda," and "The Valiant", presented for an invited audience in the Women's Club. These performances were met with such enthusiastic response that the group responsible for the productions banded together to form a Little Theatre.

The Little Theatre's first full-length production was Molnar's "The Swan," with Elizabeth Belisle, S. Dewey Haas and Duncan Hanley in the leads. The second production was "Death Takes A Holiday," featuring Haas again and Peggy McGuire. By now they were ready to embark on a season of at least three major productions, a schedule they have followed ever since, except during the years of World War II.

John B. Cummings was the first president of the Little Theatre, and Grace Arnzen Ferguson its first secretary. She remained in that office until her retirement, after many years of indefatigable concern with making the Fall River Little Theatre as good as it could possibly be.
