EDITORS COMMENTS
Post Road, Yonkers, NY [193-]: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This vintage playbill invites audiences to experience the thrilling production of 'Warburton...Post Road' at the Warburton Theatre in Yonkers, New York. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) established in 1935, aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The playbill, designed by Wilbur Daniel Steele and Norma Stafford Mitchell, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s. The bold, Western script and cream color palette evoke a sense of excitement and intrigue, while the play's title, 'Post Road,' hints at a story full of suspense, surprise, and heart-throbs. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects initiated by the U.S. government in response to the Great Depression. The project brought theater to communities across the country, providing employment opportunities and fostering a sense of unity and communication during a politically and economically challenging time. As we gaze at this vintage playbill, we are transported back to a bygone era, a time when the power of live theater brought people together and offered a momentary escape from the harsh realities of everyday life.
