Green Grow the Lilacs,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a 1937 production of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), is depicted in this photograph. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The image showcases a playbill for "Green Grow the Lilacs," a comedy by Lynn Riggs, which was presented at Emery Auditorium. The title of the play is accompanied by an intricately designed border featuring cacti, including the iconic Saguaro and Carnegiea gigantea, symbolizing the desert landscape. The text is adorned with a striking, bold lettering, evoking a sense of cultural heritage and the artistic flair of the era. The FTP's New Deal initiative played a significant role in the American arts scene during the 1930s, providing opportunities for both established and emerging artists. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural history of the time, showcasing the collaboration between the Federal Theatre Project and the artistic community. The playbill's design, with its unique blend of nature and text, further highlights the importance of the arts in American life and the enduring legacy of the Federal Theatre Project.
