Prologue to Glory, Los Angeles, 1938: A Captivating Snapshot of the Federal Theatre Project's Cultural Legacy This evocative image captures the essence of the Prologue to Glory production, presented by the Federal Theatre Project in Los Angeles during the 1930s. Established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve 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 the magic of the stage. The poster showcases an intriguing design, with a striking profile of Abraham Lincoln adorned with a laurel wreath or crown. The text, featuring bold, clear lettering, announces the title of the play, "Prologue to Glory," and the name of the production company, "Conkle Ellsworth Prouty." The image exudes a sense of political and historical significance, as well as an air of community and entertainment. The Federal Theatre Project's impact on American culture during the 1930s was profound, providing a platform for artists, designers, and performers to create and showcase their work during a time of economic hardship. This poster, a testament to the project's legacy, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless design and powerful message. The Library of Congress holds this image in its vast collection, preserving it as an essential piece of American heritage art and a reminder of the transformative power of the arts during the 20th century.
