EDITORS COMMENTS
All of a Summer Evening: A Satirical Comedy Ridiculing Exploration - A captivating image from the past, this photograph showcases a playbill for the production of "All of a Summer Evening" at the Mt. Park Casino in Holyoke, MA, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), brought live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this art form. This play, created by Homer Little and Myla Jo Closser, was presented for the first time on any stage under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project. The graphic design of the poster reflects the political and cultural climate of the era, with bold, colorful lettering and a playful, satirical tone. The text invites the audience to witness an exploration being ridiculed, promising an entertaining and thought-provoking evening at the theatre. This image is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and the New Deal's impact on the performing arts during the 20th century.
