EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the past, showcasing a playbill for a production of "The Two Kuni Lemels" by Abraham Goldfaden, presented by the Federal Theatre Project at Lincoln Junior High School in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1937. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, provide employment through public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, many of which had never experienced such entertainment before. The playbill, written primarily in Hebrew text with English transliteration, announces the Yiddish Company's production of "The Two Kuni Lemels," a celebrated comedy with incidental music by the renowned Yiddish playwright, Avram Goldfaden. Goldfaden, also known as Avrum Goldnfoden, was a pioneer in Yiddish theater, and his works played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of Jewish communities in Europe and America. The graphic design of the playbill showcases a striking color palette, with bold lettering and intricate details, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the era. The image of this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s, a time when the arts thrived under the New Deal's support, and the power of theater transcended political and social boundaries to unite and entertain diverse audiences.
