EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vibrant Vaudeville Revue performance at Seward Park in New York during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), is responsible for this theatrical production. Established in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to preserve and enhance the skills of theater workers, provide employment for them on public relief, and bring live theater to communities across the United States, including those who had never before experienced such entertainment. The image exudes a sense of excitement and joy, with performers dressed in colorful costumes and a diverse audience eagerly anticipating the show. The playbill at the bottom of the photograph reveals a mix of acts, including Jewish and non-Jewish performers, reflecting the cultural richness of the era. The text on the playbill is written in various typefaces, showcasing the artistic creativity of the time. The New Deal's WPA played a crucial role in the American cultural landscape during the 1930s, providing opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment during a period of economic hardship. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of the arts in uplifting spirits and fostering community during challenging times. The Vaudeville Revue captured in this photograph is a testament to the enduring power of live theater and the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to making it accessible to all.
