Her Majesty the Widow 2: A Vintage Poster from the Federal Theatre Project in Syracuse, NY, 1936 This poster announces the performance of "Her Majesty the Widow 2" at the Federal Theatre in Syracuse, New York, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this art form. The poster, featuring bold, expressive typography in Western Script and Capital letters, boasts a striking design. The play's title, "Her Majesty the Widow 2," is prominently displayed in pink and black, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts by Paul Vulpius" in smaller text below. An image of a rose, symbolizing love and loss, adorns the bottom left corner. The poster's dark background, with its contrasting pink and black color scheme, adds to its allure. The playbill also includes information about the production company, "The Adler Hans Theatre," and the date of the performance, "April, 1936." This vintage poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the American theater scene during the New Deal era. Its intriguing design and historical significance make it a fascinating addition to any collection of theater memorabilia or Americana.
