Follow the Parade: A Spectacular Musical Revue at Hollywood Playhouse, Los Angeles, 1936 This photograph showcases an original playbill for the opening of "Follow the Parade," a musical revue produced by the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) at the Hollywood Playhouse in Los Angeles on May 16, 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to conserve 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 this cultural art form. The playbill's vibrant design boasts the tagline, "Spectacular Musical Revue - Cast of 100," signaling the grand scale of the production. The Federal Theatres Attraction division of the WPA is proudly advertised, emphasizing the government's role in supporting the arts during this period. The colorful graphic design, featuring a lively parade scene, is a testament to the artistic talent that flourished under the FTP's auspices. The playbill's text is adorned with elegant lettering, showcasing the artistic merit of the era's graphic design. The Federal Theatre Project's commitment to the performing arts and its mission to provide employment opportunities during the Great Depression are evident in this snapshot of American history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the transformative power of the arts and the government's role in fostering creativity and cultural expression during challenging times.
