EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the World Premiere of the Federal Theatre Project's adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's seminal dystopian novel, "It Can't Happen Here." The image, featuring a bold and evocative design, dates back to the 1930s when the United States was grappling with the Great Depression and the New Deal. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration, was established to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural delight. The play, based on Sinclair Lewis's prophetic novel about the rise of a US dictator, was a powerful statement against the backdrop of political tensions and fears of fascism in America. The design of the playbill, with its striking lettering and graphic elements by an unknown artist, reflects the urgency and importance of the production. The image, titled "It Can't Happen Here," features a dramatic rendering of the play's title, with the words "World Premiere," "Dramatization of Sinclair Lewis's Great Book," and "Columbia University Repertory Theatre" prominently displayed. The playbill also includes the names of key cast members, such as Jack Moffitt and John C. Moffitt, and production information. This print is a testament to the power of art and theater to reflect and challenge the social and political climate of the time, and serves as a reminder of the enduring relevance of Sinclair Lewis's cautionary tale about the dangers of tyranny and the importance of democratic values.
