MACBETH, 1936 - A Glimpse into Harlem's Vibrant Theater Scene
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the electric atmosphere outside the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem on a historic night in 1936. The Federal Theatre Projects production of Macbeth is about to unfold, drawing an exuberant crowd that reflects the rich diversity and cultural significance of this iconic neighborhood. The image showcases a sea of faces, predominantly African American men who have gathered with anticipation for this groundbreaking performance. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement, curiosity, and pride as they eagerly await the opening night. The marquee proudly displays "Macbeth" signaling Shakespeare's timeless tragedy being reimagined through an African American lens. Set against the backdrop of Manhattan's bustling streets, this photograph not only captures a moment in time but also represents an important chapter in American theater history. The Federal Art Project and Federal Theatre Project were part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA), which aimed to provide employment opportunities during the Great Depression while promoting art and culture across America. This particular production was known as "Voodoo Macbeth" directed by Orson Welles himself. It blended elements from Haitian voodoo rituals with Shakespearean drama, creating a unique interpretation that resonated deeply within Harlem's vibrant community. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and bring communities together while celebrating their own distinct heritage.
