EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Follow the Parade, Los Angeles, 1936," showcases an announcement for the grand opening of the Greek Open Air Theatre as part of the Federal Theatre Project. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 under the Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The vibrant poster, adorned with bold, colorful lettering, announces the spectacular musical revue set to open on July 4th. The cast boasts an impressive roster of 100 performers, making it a truly monumental production. The Federal Theatres Attraction, a division of the WPA, sponsored this cultural event. The Greek Open Air Theatre, a beautiful amphitheater reminiscent of ancient Greece, serves as the venue for this musical extravaganza. The playbill's design is a testament to the artistic talent of the era, with intricate details and a sense of excitement that permeates the text. This photograph is a snapshot of the New Deal's impact on the arts and entertainment industry during the 1930s in the United States. The Federal Theatre Project played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the performing arts, providing employment opportunities and cultural experiences for millions. The legacy of this era continues to inspire and influence the arts scene in America and beyond.
