Both Your Houses,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Maxwell Anderson, came to life on stage in Oakland, California, in 1936, as part of the Federal Theatre Project. This photograph captures a scene from the production, which was presented at the Auditorium Theatre. The Federal Theatre Project was an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), created in 1935 to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring theater to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced live theatrical performances. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Both Your Houses" was a cultural event that brought together the best of politics and the arts. The play, set in the United States Capitol, explored the complexities of political power and the human condition. The photograph showcases the intricate design of the playbill, which features bold lettering and a striking color palette. The image of the United States Capitol building, prominently displayed on the poster, serves as a reminder of the political context of the production. Maxwell Anderson's "Both Your Houses" was a significant work of American literature, and its staging during the 1930s, an era marked by the New Deal and the Great Depression, added to its historical significance. The Federal Theatre Project's production of the play was a testament to the power of the arts to engage, entertain, and provoke thought, even in the most challenging of times. This photograph, a relic of a bygone era, stands as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the enduring power of live theater.
