EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage playbill for the National Prize-Winning Play, "See How They Run," written by George M. Savage Jr. The image dates back to 1938 and was produced under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The 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 this cultural delight. The Federal Theatre Project's impact on the arts and entertainment landscape of the United States during the 1930s was significant, as it provided a platform for various theatrical productions, including plays, musicals, and pageants. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American theater history and the political significance of the New Deal era. The playbill's design is a stunning example of graphic design from the era, featuring bold lettering and vibrant colors. The text proudly announces the play's title, the author's name, and the location of the performance at the Playhouse. The image also includes a political statement, reminding the audience that the production was made possible by the WPA. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical artifact that showcases the power of the arts to bring communities together and provide a much-needed source of entertainment and cultural enrichment during a challenging time in American history.
