EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a lively scene from the Black and White Revue, produced by the Federal Theatre Project in the 1930s. The image, titled "Federal Theatres Presents - Under Tent - Gibraltar Field...Southbridge - Auspices: Gibraltar Athletic Ass'n Inc," highlights the excitement of the event with its bold lettering and dynamic design. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. This particular revue, featuring the contrasting styles of Sweet Rhythm and Harlem Swing, boasted an impressive lineup of ten acts and all-star vaudeville performers. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its monochrome palette and intricate graphic design elements. The contrast between the black and white performers underscores the cultural diversity and integration that the Federal Theatre Project sought to promote during a time of political and social upheaval. The controversial nature of the project, which included productions that challenged racial and social norms, added to its allure and notoriety. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic innovation that emerged from the New Deal era, and the crucial role that the arts continue to play in shaping our collective history and identity.
