EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Harlem Jamboree, an unforgettable cultural event brought to life by the Federal Theatre Project during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and make live theatrical performances accessible to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The Harlem Jamboree, depicted in this photograph, was one such event. The playbill invites the public to attend the "Princeville Homecoming and Centennial" with free admission, promising a "32 People...Girls - Gowns - Dancers - Music - What A Show!" The image showcases an array of women in vibrant, colorful dresses, beaming with excitement as they prepare for the stage. The orchestra, composed of both men and women, is poised and ready to provide the musical backdrop for the dancers. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the African American community during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, a significant component of the New Deal, played a crucial role in promoting diversity and inclusivity in the arts, providing opportunities for underrepresented communities to showcase their talents. The Harlem Jamboree, with its lively dancers, stunning costumes, and infectious music, encapsulates the spirit of unity and celebration that defined this era. The intricate design of the poster, with its bold lettering and playful color palette, further emphasizes the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event. The Harlem Jamboree remains an important piece of American history, a reminder of the transformative power of the arts and the enduring legacy of the Federal Theatre Project.
