EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Lulu Bett 2: A Play by Zona Gale, Performed at the Syracuse, NY Playhouse, 1936. This playbill poster announces the second production of "Miss Lulu Bett" at the Syracuse Playhouse, part of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the United States. Established in 1935, the FTP aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring theater to communities across the country, including those who had never before experienced live theatrical performances. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Miss Lulu Bett," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Zona Gale, was a significant event during the 1930s, a time when the New Deal programs, including the WPA, were providing vital support to millions of Americans during the Great Depression. This poster, featuring a striking red and cream color palette, showcases the play's title in bold Western Script typeface, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts" and the playwright's name, Zona Gale, in smaller text below. The play's location and performance dates are also indicated, with the Syracuse Playhouse logo and the FTP logo at the bottom. The image of Miss Lulu Bett, a character from the play, is depicted in profile, her expression thoughtful and introspective, her dark hair pulled back in a bun, and her arms crossed in front of her. The overall design of the poster exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the high-quality productions put on by the Federal Theatre Project during this era. This vintage poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American theater and the enduring impact of the New Deal programs on the arts and education in the United States.
