EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases an original playbill for 'The Treasure,' a production presented at the Musart Theatre in Los Angeles during the 1930s. The Treasure was part of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an essential component of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, created in 1935 by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA). The FTP aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. The playbill's design is a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities, featuring bold, colorful lettering and intricate graphic elements. The title, 'The Treasure,' is prominently displayed at the top, with the subtitle, 'A Yiddish Play in Three Acts,' beneath it. The production was directed by Adolph Freeman and David Pinski, both prominent figures in the Yiddish theater scene. The Federal Theatre Project's influence on American arts and culture during the 1930s was significant. By providing opportunities for artists, writers, and performers to create and perform, it helped to foster a vibrant and diverse cultural landscape that continues to inspire and influence us today. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the important role the FTP played in American history and the enduring power of the arts to bring people together and enrich our lives.
