EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Journey into the Land of Enchantment and Wonder, Los Angeles, 1936 This evocative and enchanting photograph captures the essence of an extraordinary cultural event that took place in Los Angeles, California, in 1936. The image showcases a playbill for "Arabian Nights Fantasy," a production presented at the Greek Open Air Theatre in Griffith Park as part of the Federal Theatre Project. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to conserve and develop the skills of theatre workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced the magic of the stage. The playbill, adorned with intricate Arabian-inspired design elements, invites the audience to immerse themselves in the fantastical world of "Arabian Nights Fantasy." The central figure, depicted in the poster, is "The Teller of Tales," who holds an oil lamp, a nod to the iconic storytelling tradition of The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. The Greek Open Air Theatre, a beautiful and historic venue nestled in the heart of Griffith Park, serves as the perfect backdrop for this production. The playbill's lettering and lighting are expertly designed, adding to the overall allure and intrigue of the event. As the sun sets and the stage comes alive, the audience is transported to a land of enchantment and wonder, where the tales of The Book of One Thousand and One Nights come to life. The magic of the theatre transcends political and cultural boundaries, offering an unforgettable experience for all. This photograph is a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and transport them to new worlds, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
