The Little & WXXI Public Broadcasting

In January 2012, the Theatre took innovative step toward sustainability by entering into a parent-subsidiary relationship with WXXI Public Broadcasting. Because of this merger, we can be assured that as the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods continue to change and grow, the Little will continue to be a bright spot in the neighborhood.

Community Advisory Board

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of volunteers that helps WXXI and The Little fulfill its mission to engage the community with programming that stimulates and expands thought, inspires the spirit, opens cultural horizons and promotes understanding of diverse issues. The CAB helps WXXI staff and management evaluate how programs and content serve the needs and interests of our community. The CAB meets three times a year and participates in station events.
