EDITORS COMMENTS
Federal Mayan Theatre Presents Censored: A Modern Play by Conrad Seiler - A Hilarious 3-Act Comedy This vintage poster announces the presentation of "Censored," a modern comedy by Conrad Seiler, produced by the Federal Mayan Theatre in 1936. The poster, featuring bust portraits of a man and a woman, along with a play script, exudes an air of progress and innovation. During the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Theatre Project provided employment for thousands of actors, writers, and technicians, including Conrad Seiler. The project aimed to bring live theatre to underserved communities and to revitalize American theatre. "Censored" was one of the many works produced under this initiative. The title suggests a play that tackles the issue of censorship, a topic that was particularly relevant during this time. The use of the word "modern" in the poster's tagline implies that the play is a contemporary work, likely reflecting the social and political issues of the day. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold typography and a clear, easy-to-read layout. The use of a play script as a graphic element adds a theatrical touch, while the bust portraits of the man and woman suggest the characters in the play. The poster's tagline, "A Hilarious 3-Act Comedy," promises an entertaining evening at the theatre. The use of the word "hilarious" suggests that the play is light-hearted and funny, making it an appealing choice for audiences looking for an enjoyable night out. Overall, this poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the work of the Federal Theatre Project and the plays produced during this period. It also highlights the importance of live theatre as a form of entertainment and social commentary, and the role of the government in supporting the arts during times of economic hardship.
