EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment in American theater history: the world premiere of "It Can't Happen Here," a dystopian political play adapted from Sinclair Lewis' novel, presented by the Federal Theatre Project in the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States. The playbill, designed by an unknown artist, features bold, colorful typography by Jack Moffitt and John C. Moffitt. The graphic design showcases the title, "It Can't Happen Here," in striking red letters, while the subtitle, "A Play in Three Acts by Sinclair Lewis," is presented in a more subdued, yet still prominent, font. The Federal Theatre Project's logo, along with the play's production information, is displayed at the bottom of the poster. The image is a prophetic reminder of the potential for tyranny and fascism in American politics, as depicted in Lewis' novel. The play's premiere at the Federal Theatre Project was not only a cultural event but also a significant moment in the history of the New Deal and the American theater. This print is a valuable heritage artifact, preserving the legacy of a pivotal moment in American arts and politics.
