Administration Drama Federal Jennings Presentation Progress Project Talbot Wing Pulsating
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster announces a groundbreaking theatrical production by the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. The presentation in question is "American Wing" by Talbot Jennings, a pulsating New England drama that premiered at the Mt. Park Casino in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1938. The poster's striking image features a skeleton and bones hanging from the limbs of a tree, symbolizing the desolation and decay of the past, while also hinting at the renewal and transformation that the play promises. The Federal Theatre Project, under the leadership of Hallie Flanagan Davis, aimed to bring live theatre to communities across the country, providing employment for actors, writers, and technicians during the Depression. "American Wing" was one of the many innovative and provocative works produced by the Federal Theatre Project, which sought to challenge conventional theatre and engage audiences with contemporary issues. Talbot Jennings, a prolific playwright and director, drew inspiration from American folklore, history, and social issues to create a unique and pulsating theatrical experience. The poster's bold design and powerful imagery reflect the energy and excitement surrounding the Federal Theatre Project and the progressive artistic spirit of the era. With its haunting image and intriguing title, this poster invites us to explore the rich history of American theatre and the enduring legacy of the Federal Theatre Project.
