Personal Appearance, White Plains, NY, 1936: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This vintage playbill invites us to step back in time to the 1930s, specifically to White Plains, New York, where the Federal Theatre Project was in full swing. Established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), 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 the magic of the stage. The playbill, featuring the comedic production "Personal Appearance" by Lawrence Riley, showcases a striking design in navy blue and red hues. The title, "Personal Appearance," is written in bold, Western Script typeface, while the subtitle, "A Comedy in One Act," appears in smaller, red text below. The play's location is listed as the Peekskill Playhouse in Westchester County, New York. The playbill's top left corner bears the emblem of the Federal Theatre Project, with the words "Federal Theatre Project" written in capital letters in a simple, red text. The bottom right corner includes the date, "White Plains, N.Y., March 25, 1936," and the words "Presented by the Federal Theatre Project." This playbill is a testament to the emergence of the arts during the 1930s, a time when the country was grappling with political and economic challenges. The Federal Theatre Project, and playbills like this one, played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the performing arts during this period, ensuring that the arts remained an integral part of American heritage and culture.
