Prologue to Glory,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and historic playbill from the 1930s, showcases the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to bringing live theatrical performances to Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. Created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and broaden access to the arts. This particular playbill, designed by Ellsworth P. Conkle under the direction of Robert Burns Mantle, advertises a special performance of "Prologue to Glory" for high school students. The vibrant and colorful graphic design features bold lettering and a striking image of a hand reaching out to grab the stars, symbolizing the potential for growth and opportunity. The text on the playbill invites students to obtain their special student tickets from their principal or classroom teacher, emphasizing the importance of this cultural experience for the next generation of Americans. The playbill's tagline, "No Citizen of These United States, Native or in the Making Should Be Permitted to Miss Seeing - 'Prologue to Glory,'" underscores the significance of this theatrical production and the Federal Theatre Project's mission to make the arts accessible to all. This historic playbill is a testament to the New Deal era's political commitment to the arts and the enduring impact of the Federal Theatre Project on American cultural history. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of heritage art as a reminder of the power of the arts to bring people together and inspire future generations.
