Marionette Varieties, Los Angeles, 1937: A Glimpse into the Magical World of Puppetry during the New Deal Era Step right up and welcome to the Theatre of the Magic Strings, where the Marionette Varieties are now playing! This playbill, titled "Marionette Varieties" and dated 1937, invites us to an enchanting evening of puppet theater. The poster, created for the Federal Theatre Project - Division of WPA, showcases an array of mesmerizing productions, including "The Jewel Tree." The Federal Theatre Project, established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, was a vital part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives. Its mission was 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 the magic of theater. This colorful and intricately designed playbill is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s in the United States. The graphic design, with its bold lettering and playful illustrations, exudes a sense of excitement and wonder. The text, set against a vibrant background, invites us to explore the world of puppetry and the enchanting performances that awaited audiences during this period. As we gaze at this beautiful piece of American history, we are transported back in time to an era of political and artistic innovation, when the power of the stage was harnessed to uplift and entertain the masses. The Marionette Varieties playbill is a reminder of the enduring allure of the theater and the transformative power of the arts.
