Marionette Vaudeville, San Francisco, 1937: A Delightful Novelty of Modern Puppetry at Alcazar Theatre - A Federal Theatre Production This image showcases a Marionette Vaudeville performance at the Alcazar Theatre in San Francisco during 1937. The event was presented as part of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project aimed 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 such cultural events. The colorful playbill design showcases the allure of the puppet show, with bold lettering and intricate graphic elements. The text reads, "Marionette Vaudeville" and "A Federal Theatre Production - W.P.A." The Alcazar Theatre is identified as the location of the performance. The playbill's design is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the Federal Theatre Project during the 1930s in the United States. The New Deal's Federal Theatre Project played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the performing arts during a time of economic hardship. This image offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American theatre history, showcasing the artistry and innovation of marionette puppetry as a form of entertainment that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
