EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a playbill for the Detroit Federal Theatre Unit of Michigan Works Progress Administration's production of "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis. The Federal Theatre Project, established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The playbill advertises the production of "It Can't Happen Here," a dystopian political novel adaptation by Sinclair Lewis, which ran for three weeks at the Lafayette Theatre. The novel, published in 1935, is a prophetic warning about the potential rise of a dictator in the United States. The ominous title and the striking graphic design of the playbill reflect the play's serious and thought-provoking themes. The design of the playbill features bold, colorful lettering, with the title "It Can't Happen Here" prominently displayed in red, and the subtitle "by Sinclair Lewis" in a smaller font below. The play's logo, featuring a raised fist and a flag with a swastika-like symbol, adds to the ominous tone. The playbill also includes information about the production, such as the cast and crew, performance dates, and ticket prices. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural events of the 1930s, showcasing the Federal Theatre Project's efforts to bring important and thought-provoking works to the American public during the New Deal era. The unknown photographer captured an image that not only documents this historical moment but also conveys the sense of urgency and relevance of the play's themes, which continue to resonate today.
