MACBETH, 1936 - A Captivating Glimpse into Harlem's Theatrical History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant world of theater in 1936. J. Lewis Johnson, an African American actor, stands proudly on stage at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, dressed in a striking costume for his role as Macbeth. This Federal Theatre Projects production of Shakespeare's renowned tragedy was not just any ordinary performance; it was known as the "Voodoo Macbeth". The image captures Johnson amidst an intricately designed set that transports us to another time and place. The attention to detail is evident - from the carefully crafted interior of the stage to the meticulous costumes worn by all involved. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we gain a glimpse into both cultural and historical significance. The Federal Theatre Project was part of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed at providing employment opportunities during the Great Depression while promoting artistic expression across America. In this particular production, set against the backdrop of Harlem's rich cultural heritage, African American actors took center stage in roles traditionally played by white performers. It symbolized a powerful shift towards inclusivity and challenged societal norms prevalent at that time. This print serves as a testament to J. Lewis Johnson's talent and dedication as he brings Shakespearean drama alive within a community often overlooked by mainstream theater productions.
