EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a playbill for the Federal Theatre Project's production of Oliver Goldsmith's classic comedy "She Stoops to Conquer," which was staged in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1938. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the United States Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the country, many of which had never before experienced such cultural events. The playbill's design exudes an elegant and artistic flair, with intricate lettering and a striking color palette. The title of the play, "She Stoops to Conquer," is prominently displayed at the top, accompanied by the playwright's name, Oliver Goldsmith, and the production's location, the Federal Theatre in Jacksonville, Florida. The bottom of the poster features the Federal Theatre Project's logo and the tagline, "Florida Federal Theatre Presents." The New Deal-era political climate is reflected in the playbill's text, which emphasizes the importance of bringing arts and culture to the masses, as well as the role of the Federal Theatre Project in providing employment opportunities during a time of economic hardship. The image of this historic playbill serves as a reminder of the significant impact of the WPA on American arts and culture during the 1930s, and the enduring legacy of live theater as a source of community connection and entertainment.
