Attention Please - A Snappy Musical Revue
EDITORS COMMENTS
- an intriguing and vibrant playbill from the 1930s, showcasing the lively production put on by the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), a New Deal initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The FTP aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such cultural events. This particular production, directed by Hallie Flanagan and George Kondolf, took place at the B'Nai Jeshurun Community Center in New York City. The revue, featuring a company of 50 and an orchestra of 15, promises a lively and entertaining evening of music and drama. The bold, colorful design of the playbill, with its striking lettering and political undertones, reflects the energy and innovation of the time. The Federal Theatre Project played a significant role in the cultural and political landscape of the United States during the 1930s. By providing opportunities for artists and performers, it helped to revitalize the American theater scene and bring the arts to a wider audience. This playbill serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the era and the enduring power of live performance to inspire and entertain. The Federal Theatre Project's "Attention Please: A Snappy Musical Revue" is a snapshot of a bygone era, a reminder of the important role that the arts can play in shaping our communities and bringing people together. This unknown designer's work continues to captivate and intrigue, inviting us to explore the history of American theater and the enduring power of the live stage.
