EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the presentation of "The Tailor Becomes a Storekeeper" by the Federal Theatre Yiddish Unit, held at the Great Northern Theatre in Chicago between 1936 and 1941. The image features a man intently working at a sewing machine, with the title of the comedy written above in Yiddish script and the subtitle "A comedy by David Pinski with music" below. During the Great Depression, the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established to provide employment opportunities in the arts. The Federal Theatre Yiddish Unit was one of several ethnic and cultural units within the FTP, dedicated to preserving and promoting Yiddish theatre in America. "The Tailor Becomes a Storekeeper" is a light-hearted production that tells the story of a tailor who, in an attempt to better provide for his family, transforms his tailor shop into a store. The addition of music by Pinski adds an extra layer of entertainment and cultural richness to the production. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with the man and sewing machine serving as a visual representation of the play's theme of progress and adaptation. The use of the Yiddish language further emphasizes the cultural significance of the production and the importance of preserving the Yiddish language and traditions during this time. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of American theatre and the efforts made during the Depression to provide employment opportunities in the arts. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to bring communities together and uplift spirits during challenging times.
