In the early 1960's Al Reis, owner of Reis Art Gallery and School and Jay Anderson, one of his instructors, created the piece of sculpture that has come to be known as the Harlequin Man.

It was presented to FSLT and stood at the entrance to the theatre building on North "O" Street until it was moved to our present location in 1987. By that time the elements had taken their toll and none of the original stained glass remained.

Over the years the statue had become a symbol of FSLT and one the theatre did not want to give up. One of the FSLT patrons, Louis Robinson, cleaned it, stabilized its frame and repainted it before it was placed in the new lobby.

In 1994, thanks to the generosity of the late Mickey Suggs, the glass was replaced and the Harlequin Man now stands in its former splendor for all FSLT patrons to enjoy.
