EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a playbill for the national premiere of Sinclair Lewis's groundbreaking drama, "It Can't Happen Here," produced by the Federal Theatre Project in Miami, Florida, in 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The playbill announces an extended engagement of "It Can't Happen Here!," an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's prescient dystopian novel about the rise of a US dictator. The ominous title and the stark, bold lettering of the poster serve as a warning of the potential threats to American democracy. The design features a striking image of the play's title, with the words "Federal Theatre" and "National Premiere" prominently displayed. The play's relevance to the political climate of the 1930s is evident, as the country grappled with the Great Depression and the specter of fascism loomed large in Europe. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "It Can't Happen Here" served as a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance and the dangers of tyranny. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and historical significance of the Federal Theatre Project and the role it played in American arts and politics during the 1930s. The unknown photographer has captured an essential moment in the history of American theater and the enduring power of the written word to provoke thought and inspire action.
