EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from a production of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," presented by the WPA Federal Children's Theatre in Newark, New Jersey, in 1937. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theatrical skills, re-employ theatre workers, and bring live performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. In this image, we see the Fuld Hall stage adorned with simple yet effective set design, as young actors prepare to bring Andersen's timeless story to life. The poster hanging on the wall announces the presentation, with its bold, colorful lettering and striking graphic design, reflecting the artistic spirit of the era. The WPA Federal Children's Theatre, under the supervision of Adele G. Nathan, co-sponsored this production with the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association. The political and social climate of the 1930s, marked by the Great Depression and the New Deal, is evident in this photograph, as the arts played a crucial role in providing solace, inspiration, and community engagement during challenging times. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of the arts to bring people together and create memorable experiences, even in the most trying of circumstances.
