EDITORS COMMENTS
Processional, New York, 1937: A Vintage Poster from the Federal Theatre Project This striking, vintage poster advertises the production of "Processional" at Maxine Elliott's Theatre in New York City, presented by the Federal Theatre Project in 1937. Established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Federal Theatre Project was designed 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 them. The poster's bold design features a red and white striped background, with the play's title, "Processional," written in a striking, capitalized Western Script typeface. The play was written by John Howard Lawson, a prominent American playwright and screenwriter of the 20th century. The poster also includes the tagline, "A Political Play," reflecting the political climate of the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of American cultural history, and its impact can still be felt in the American theatre landscape today. This poster is a testament to the Project's legacy and the vibrant theatrical scene of the time. With its bold design and historical significance, it serves as a reminder of the power of the arts to bring communities together and provide a source of entertainment and inspiration during challenging times.
