The Crown Jewel of The Ozarks
Since 1934, Springfield Little Theatre has been strengthened by generations of volunteer leaders who have given their time, vision, and commitment to guide the organization forward. We gratefully recognize those who have served as President of the Springfield Little Theatre Board of Directors, helping steward the organization through more than 90 seasons of growth, change, and remarkable theatre created by our community, for our community.
