EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of Vaudeville in Boston during the 1930s. The image showcases the grandeur of the Copley Theatre, with its ornate marquee proudly announcing "Vaudeville - Charles Federal Nettie" for ten nights only. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, brought the arts to the masses, conserving and developing the skills of theater workers, and providing employment opportunities during the Great Depression. This playbill design, with its bold lettering and vibrant colors, is a testament to the cultural significance of live entertainment during this era. The Federal Theatre Project's mission to bring theater to communities across the United States who had never before experienced live performances, reflects the enduring power of the arts to unite and inspire. This intriguing piece of American heritage art is a reminder of the rich history of performing arts in the United States and the political will to support the arts during challenging times.
