EDITORS COMMENTS
Bassa Moona, New York, 1936: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This playbill announces the performance of "Bassa Moona" at the Lafayette Theatre in New York City, 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, including those who had never before experienced this form of entertainment. The playbill features the title "Bassa Moona" in bold, yellow capital letters, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts by John Momodu." The play's title is written in a Western script, while the author's name is written in a more traditional, formal script. The playbill also includes the location, date, and cast information, as well as a note that the production is presented under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects enacted in response to the Great Depression in the United States. The project aimed to provide employment opportunities for artists, writers, and performers, and to bring cultural enrichment to communities in need. The Lafayette Theatre, located in Harlem, was an important venue for the Federal Theatre Project, and "Bassa Moona" was likely one of many productions staged there during this time. This vintage playbill is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s, and serves as a reminder of the important role that the arts and entertainment played in American history. The use of bold, colorful typography and lettering adds to the visual appeal of the playbill, making it a fascinating piece of historical art and a valuable addition to any collection of vintage theater memorabilia.
