Personal Appearance 3, Peekskill, NY, [1930s]: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This intriguing playbill, titled "Personal Appearance 3," dates back to the 1930s in Peekskill, New York. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), is responsible for its creation. Established in 1935, this project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The playbill showcases an eclectic mix of comedy and drama, with performances ranging from "The Hasty Heart" by John Boynton Priestley to "The Front Page" by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Lawrence Riley, a notable figure in the Federal Theatre Project, is listed as the producer for this event. The playbill's design is a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities. The bold, capitalized lettering and Western script evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation, while the political undertones of the WPA's New Deal initiatives are subtly conveyed through the use of the lawrence riley signature and the WPA logo. This vintage playbill serves as a reminder of the emergence and emergence of the performing arts during the 1930s in the United States. It is a valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of the Federal Theatre Project and its efforts to bring the power of live theater to the masses.
