EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project's "Mayan Theatre" in Los Angeles (193-): This evocative playbill, showcasing the intriguing production of "Alien Corn" at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles, dates back to the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an essential component of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theatre skills, re-employ theatre workers, and bring live performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this art form. The playbill's design is a striking example of the era's graphic design aesthetics. The title, "Alien Corn," is boldly displayed in elegant lettering, with the play's author, Sidney Howard, prominently featured below. The image of an ocean liner, transporting the title "Alien Corn" and the silhouette of a sweetcorn cob, adds a sense of adventure and intrigue to the design. The Federal Theatre Project's influence extended beyond the stage, as it played a significant role in the cultural and political landscape of the United States during the 1930s. "Alien Corn" was likely a thought-provoking and engaging play, adding to the rich tapestry of theatrical performances that the Federal Theatre Project brought to life during this period. This playbill is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Federal Theatre Project and the vibrant cultural heritage it left behind. Its mysterious title, "Alien Corn," continues to pique the imagination, inviting us to explore the stories and experiences that unfolded on the stages of the Mayan Theatre and other venues during this transformative era in American history.
