EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Dramatic Fantasy for the Young in Heart: A Captivating Look into the 1939 Production of the Classic Tale at Boston's Copley Theatre Step back in time to the magical world of Pinocchio as depicted in this 1939 playbill from the Copley Theatre in Boston. The image showcases the beloved wooden puppet, brought to life from the pages of Carlo Collodi's timeless fairy tale, against a backdrop of vibrant colors and playful graphics. This enchanting production was part of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The project aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theater to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural delight. The playbill design is a testament to the artistic talent of the era, with intricate lettering and a clever use of tools and wooden textures that pay homage to Pinocchio's wooden origins. The play, presented as a "dramatic fantasy," promised to transport audiences on a thrilling journey filled with adventure, magic, and the age-old tale of a puppet longing to become a real boy. As part of the New Deal, the Federal Theatre Project played a significant role in the country's cultural and political landscape during the 1930s. This playbill serves as a reminder of the power of the arts to inspire, entertain, and bring communities together. Join Pinocchio and his friends on this unforgettable adventure, as depicted in this beautiful and mysterious piece of heritage art from the Library of Congress.
