EDITORS COMMENTS
Free Shows in the Park, New York [1930s]: A Vibrant Poster from the Federal Theatre Project This poster announces free theatrical performances in the parks of New York during the 1930s. 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 performances to communities across the United States. The design features a lively scene of a convoy of trucks, transporting theatrical equipment and performers, making their way through a cityscape towards a park. The iconic figures of George Bernard Shaw and William Shakespeare, two giants of English literature, are depicted in the foreground, adding an air of prestige and cultural significance to the event. The poster's color palette is rich and diverse, with shades of blue, cream, red, and black dominating the design. The text is bold and clear, with the playbill-style layout showcasing various productions, including works by Shaw, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Shakespeare. The poster's graphic design elements, such as the ornate lettering and the use of contrasting colors, effectively convey the excitement and energy of the free shows. This poster is a testament to the New Deal's commitment to providing cultural opportunities to the American public during a time of economic hardship. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of live theater to bring people together and uplift communities.
