EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage playbill from the Federal Varieties, located in Yonkers, NY, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), created this theater to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such entertainment. The Federal Varieties Playbill showcases a stunning design, with its bold blue and red color palette, contrasting text in white, and elegant script. The poster features a beautiful young woman, dressed as a showgirl, with a playful expression, inviting the audience to the Capitol Theatre and Warburton Theatre for a variety show. The playbill also includes details about the Federal Theatre Project, highlighting its mission and the various shows that were being presented at the time. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal's efforts to provide relief and employment during the Great Depression. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s, and the enduring power of live performance to bring people together and uplift their spirits. The Federal Varieties Playbill is a beautiful example of graphic design, with its thoughtful use of color, typography, and imagery, and serves as a reminder of the important role that the arts played in American history.
