EDITORS COMMENTS
a gripping peace drama produced by Maria Coxe as part of the Federal Theatre Project in Jacksonville, Florida during the 1930s, is depicted in this photo print. The Federal Theatre Project, established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. The image showcases a playbill for "If Ye Break Faith," which features the tagline "Ride the Buses" and the location of Durkee Field. The graphic design is simple yet effective, with bold, colorful lettering that draws the eye to the title of the play and the name of the production company, "Maria Coxe and Skinner, Maria M. Coxe." The Federal Theatre Project, a key component of the New Deal, played a significant role in American arts and culture during the 1930s. This political and cultural movement brought theater to communities across the country, providing entertainment and employment during a time of economic hardship. The project's impact is evident in this striking playbill, which stands as a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and inspire hope during challenging times. The image is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of the United States. The unknown creator of this playbill remains a mystery, but their work continues to captivate and intrigue, reminding us of the enduring power of the arts to inspire and entertain. This print is a treasure in the Library of Congress's collection, a reminder of the important role the Federal Theatre Project played in American history and the enduring impact of the arts on our society.
