EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating vintage poster advertising a theatrical production presented at the Warburton Theatre in Yonkers, New York, as part of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP). Established in 1935 under the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), the FTP aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The poster, featuring the intriguing title "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" in bold, cream-colored Western script, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the era. The play's title, set against a dark, almost black background, is contrasted by the playbill's white text, which lists the cast and crew, and the location and date of the performance. The play was written by Philip Barry, a renowned American playwright of the 20th century, whose works include "The Philadelphia Story" and "Holiday." The poster's design is reminiscent of the political and artistic climate of the 1930s, a time when the New Deal programs, including the FTP, played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of America. The poster's text is written in a clear, easy-to-read typeface, making it accessible to a wide audience. This striking poster not only serves as a reminder of the past but also stands as a symbol of the enduring power of the arts to bring people together and inspire hope for a better tomorrow.
