EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a playbill for the production of "Miles Glorious" presented by the Federal Theatre Project in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, provide employment on public relief, and bring live theater to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The playbill, with its bold, colorful design, announces the modern translation of a Roman comedy, "Miles Glorious," which was performed in a high school auditorium. The graphic design features elegant lettering, conveying a sense of sophistication and excitement for the upcoming show. The political and cultural significance of the Federal Theatre Project during the 1930s is evident in this artifact, as it represents a crucial period in American history when the government prioritized the arts as a means of uplifting communities and providing employment during the Great Depression. The Federal Theatre Project's impact on the performing arts in the United States was profound, as it provided opportunities for countless artists, writers, and technicians to hone their craft and share their work with the public. This playbill serves as a testament to the enduring power of live theater and the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to making it accessible to all.
