EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a playbill for the Federal Theatre Project's production of "She Stoops to Conquer" by Oliver Goldsmith. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theatre workers, and bring live performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The playbill, featuring the tagline "Federal Theatre Presents," proudly announces the classic comedy by Goldsmith. The 20th century design exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, with bold, colorful lettering and an intricate border. The image of a playhouse and the words "She Stoops to Conquer" add to the theatrical atmosphere. The Federal Theatre Project, a significant component of the New Deal, played a crucial role in the cultural landscape of the United States during the 1930s. This production of "She Stoops to Conquer" was likely one of the many shows that brought joy and entertainment to audiences across the country. The playbill's text highlights the political and social significance of the Federal Theatre Project, which provided a platform for artistic expression and employment opportunities during a time of economic hardship. The image of a woman, possibly an actress, in the foreground adds a personal touch to this historical artifact, reminding us of the human connection that lies at the heart of the performing arts. This unknown designer's graphic creation is a testament to the enduring power of theatre and the Federal Theatre Project's mission to make it accessible to all.
