It Can't Happen Here
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Prophetic Drama of Dystopian Politics in 1930s America This photo print, titled "It Can't Happen Here," showcases a playbill for a production of Sinclair Lewis's dystopian political novel adaptation at the Blackstone Theatre in Chicago during 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, brought this thought-provoking play to life, aiming to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists, and bring theatrical performances to the masses. The novel, written by Harry Sinclair Lewis, paints a chilling picture of the rise of a US dictator, a theme that was far from the minds of many Americans during the 1930s. The playbill design, created by Jack Moffitt or John C. Moffitt, features striking lettering and a bold color palette, reflecting the era's cultural significance and the urgency of the message. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal program, was established in 1935 to provide employment opportunities for theater workers and bring live performances to communities across the United States. This production of "It Can't Happen Here" served as a poignant reminder of the potential consequences of political tyranny and the importance of vigilance against fascist ideologies. This image, now a part of the Library of Congress's heritage art collection, stands as a testament to the power of art and the enduring relevance of Sinclair Lewis's prescient work. The unknown artist's design, with its bold text and evocative imagery, continues to resonate and spark conversation about the role of politics and the arts in shaping our society.
