The curtain goes up. Andrew Jackson is the President of the United States. The Theatrical Corps, forerunner of the Little Theatre, presents its first performance to a cheering, full house. The ladies of the Episcopal Society present the only other theatrical offerings in Greenville until 1910. It presents one to four plays in any available auditorium boasting a stage.
Directors are amateur volunteers.
In 1936, Furman University drama professors Harold Baker Shaw and Arthur Coe Gray assume the roles of Artistic Directors. Plays are now presented in the Fine Arts Auditorium of the Women's College, then located on GLT's present site on Heritage Green. The show goes on until 1941 when the United States' entry into world conflict ends all activities and brings down the curtain. As the curtain rises on Act II, World War II is over, and the Greenville Little Theatre has reorganized. Mr. Robert H. McLane, head of the Speech, Art and Drama Departments at Greenville High agrees to direct the forthcoming plays of the Little Theatre.
